About Jim Lafferty (About Osteomed)
Lafferty received his Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Gannon University (Erie, PA; 1982). In 1989, he founded Dalton Technology, an orthopedic surgical instrument manufacturer, and served as President through 1991 when it was merged into Osteomed. He co-founded Osteomed, in Glendale, California, with Rick Buss, a biologist, from Stanford University, with a background in medical product development.
In 1993, the company added its first direct salesperson and began to offer its products for sale internationally. The same year, the company relocated to Dallas, Texas. In 1997, OsteoMed took a major step by relocating to Addison, in preparation for in-house manufacturing, previously outsourced. Osteomed Corporation was sold to The Marmon Group in August 1999. The Marmon Group, owned by Robert Pritzker, is the 15th largest privately held corporation in the United States with over $7 billion in annual revenues.
Osteomed is a medical device company that specializes in small bone reconstruction implants, including bioabsorbable devices and electro-mechanical instrumentation used in the operating room by several surgical specialties including: plastic reconstructive, oral & maxillofacial, ENT, neurosurgeons, orthopedic hand and foot surgeons and podiatric surgeons.
Lafferty currently serves as President of Genesis Biosystems, Inc., an equipment manufacturing and distribution company he co-founded in 2000 that services the aesthetic procedure and plastic surgery markets. He holds four U.S. patents.
