Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium

?? OrthoPediatrics joins the Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium?? We’re thrilled to welcome OrthoPediatrics to the Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium. As the only medical device company exclusively focused on advancing pediatric orthopedics, OrthoPediatrics has been at the forefront of developing specialized surgical implants and instruments designed for growing children. With a global presence in 36+ countries, over 1 million implants provided for pediatric patients, and a deep commitment to clinical education and innovation, OrthoPediatrics brings unmatched expertise to our mission at Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium. Pediatric medical innovation has long faced challenges—80% of FDA-approved devices lack pediatric-specific testing, and new pediatric devices are rare. By joining forces, we are accelerating solutions that bridge the gap between research and commercialization, reduce costs and risks, and bring life-changing medical devices to children in need. Looking forward to the impact this partnership will have on the future of pediatric healthcare! Dave Bailey Mallory Trusty Matthew Waninger Craig J. Goergen Danielle Soranno, MD, FASN Thomas G.

When my son was born, we faced the unthinkable... A diaphragmatic hernia. A hole in his diaphragm allowed his intestines to move into his lung cavity, leaving little room for his lung to expand while breathing. We were terrified. Hoping for a miracle. That miracle came through the incredible surgeons at Riley Children's Health. They saved his life?? Today, my son is here, filling our lives with love and laughter. He’s living proof of what innovation in pediatric healthcare can achieve. This is why I’m all in to bring the Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium to life and I ask you to join me and follow our journey. Families like mine are counting on bold ideas to become real solutions. Do you have an idea for a pediatric device that could make a difference? Our consortium—Purdue University, Indiana University School of Medicine and Cook Medical—brings unmatched expertise in engineering, medicine, and product development to help.

Advanced medical technologies for children remain critically underdeveloped, with a 5–10 year lag compared to adult patients. Yet, when available, these innovative devices can drastically improve care management, reduce costs, and enhance quality of life for children. The Crossroads Pediatric Device Consortium addresses this national shortage by uniting world-class engineering and clinical expertise to accelerate the development of life-changing pediatric medical devices.
