In 2010, Paragon 28® was established as an orthopedic foot and ankle company. The name “Paragon 28” was chosen to show that they are exclusively a foot and ankle company, with the “28” representing the number of bones in the foot. They remain true to that vision. Paragon 28® was started as a small, family-based company and they have kept those core ideals as we have grown.
Their first product was the Monster® Screw System, followed by the Gorilla® Plating System. As they continue to add more products, they maintain a fine level of detail to every feature of every product they design. Their goal is to give options to the foot and ankle surgeon, knowing there is more than one way to achieve a great result. They have listened to surgeons and will continue to do so in order to understand and address their specific needs.
