Company Philosophy
The VB investment philosophy focuses on driving growth by providing clinically-proven, comparatively-superior product innovations. To execute this philosophy, VB must have more information that its competitors, must understand this information to know the healthcare industry better than anybody else, and must be the first to use this knowledge to develop promising technologies. We call this philosophy, "More…Better…First!"
As such, VB emphasizes the collection, mining, and interpreting of data to manage technologies that pre-emptively address the evolving desire for evidence-based technologies in the healthcare industry. VB only invests in technologies whose applications benefit patients and the healthcare system alike by reducing costs, improving care, and expanding the availability of care to those who cannot currently access it. With enhanced data, VB identifies the technologies that best satisfy these criteria and transforms it into successful, life-saving medical breakthroughs. This philosophy has developed technologies such as interlaminar stabilization, single-use disposable devices, the leading spinal disc replacement technology, and the #1 ankle joint replacement technology. Such technologies have reduced the total cost to countries' healthcare systems and have enabled patients to regain active lifestyles previously lost to debilitating conditions.
