Founded in 1978 in Atlanta, Georgia, CrossLink has grown from its roots in orthopaedic sales and distribution to an organization whose sales force and national network of distributors are the market leaders in each of the regional markets they serve.

As “crosslinking” refers to the interconnecting of molecules, spinal rods, or other materials to make the new combination stronger, CrossLink has similarly interconnected with distributors across the country to create the largest, most integrated network of leading medical device distributors in the United States.
