Pioneers Of Orthopedic Devices
For nearly four decades Xiros has designed, developed, manufactured, and marketed state-of-the-art implantable orthopedic medical devices. Leveraging the experience and design involvement from the world’s best surgeons, Xiros has literally changed the lives of millions of patients—enabling long-term, favorable outcomes who now enjoy the freedom of a healthy lifestyle.
A Heritage Of Unwavering Dedication
Established in 1982 in Leeds, UK, Xiros, Ltd., is a leading British medical device company specializing in the design, development, manufacture, and supply of implantable textile-based scaffolds for the sports medicine and orthopedic markets.
The company was launched following the successful development of the Leeds-Keio Ligament: a result of collaborative research between Dr. Bahaa Seedhom of the Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Research Unit at Leeds University and Dr. Kyosuke Fujikawa of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at Keio University in Tokyo.
Since those early days of development, the Xiros portfolio has grown to include an extensive range of products for a wide range of ligament, tendon, and soft tissue injuries.
Premier International Certifications
The sterile implantable scaffolds are manufactured in-house at our state-of-the-art factory premises in Leeds, under a strict, quality management system that operates to meet or exceed a number of international standards.
In 1993 Xiros Ltd., was registered by the British Standards Institution (BSI) to ISO 9001, and in 1995 to EN 46001. This enabled us to become one of the first UK companies eligible to CE mark its products under the EU Medical Device Directive.
In 2004 Xiros Ltd., gained accreditation to ISO 13485. We have also been successfully inspected by the FDA. In 2018 we superseded our ISO 9001 certification, while continuing to maintain our ISO 13485 certification.

The Xiros Millennium
In 2000 we changed our company name to Xiros (pronounced Ki-ros) to reflect our unique and diverse range of skills, which include research, engineering and regulatory knowledge of medical implantable devices. An acronym for Innovative Research in Orthopedic Surgery, Xiros brings together innovative minds and textile manufacturing to achieve outstanding results.
Although we continue to design, manufacture, and market our product lines under the brand name of Neoligaments, as Xiros we also specialize in development and manufacture of products for other orthopedic companies as well as developing, manufacturing and distributing products under the Xiros brand name.
Xiros Inc., (North America) was launched in 2019 to meet the implantable orthopedic needs of the United States and Canada by leveraging nearly four decades of innovation and remarkable patient outcomes.
