Jeff Tyber Company Executive

I have worked in the orthopedic medical device industry for over 18 years in product development, research, and management roles. Most recently, I was the first employee and R&D Manager for Extremity Medical, a start-up company focused on the distal extremity orthopedic market. During my tenure at Extremity Medical, my product development group was responsible for the invention, development and release of over 9 products, including Extremity Medicals core technology.

Prior to Extremity Medical, I was a Design Engineer with B. Braun Aesculap, specifically in the spinal implant division. At Aesculap I designed posterior and anterior cervical spinal systems, as well as a stand-alone interbody spacer. I was a co-founder and Senior Engineer for Medshape Solutions, a medical device company-commercializing device using a shape memory material platform. MedShape Solutions has released 5 shape memory products and raised over $25 million in venture backed funding.

My inventions have been implanted in over 100,000 patients and have grossed over $450 million for the companies I've worked for. I'm the named inventor on over 42 domestic and international patents and patent applications. I graduated from the University of Colorado with a MS in Mechanical Engineering and BS in Mechanical Engineering as well as a minor in Business and minor in Statistics.
