Overview
PainTEQ, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida, is a private medical device company commercializing the LinQ SI joint stabilization system. The LinQ procedure is a minimally invasive, outpatient treatment that uses a single, biologically-based allograft implant to address pain from SI joint dysfunction, positioning it as an alternative to more invasive fusion surgeries involving metal implants. The company targets the significant and often underserved market of chronic lower back pain patients where SI joint pathology is a contributor. PainTEQ appears to be in a commercial, revenue-generating stage, marketing its solution directly to physicians and patients.

Opportunities
Risk Factors
Competitive Landscape
PainTEQ competes in the SI joint treatment market against conservative care (injections, physical therapy), radiofrequency ablation devices, and traditional SI joint fusion systems (often using metal implants) from major spine companies like Medtronic, SI-BONE (iFuse), and Globus Medical. Its key differentiation is the use of a biological allograft and a minimally invasive posterior approach marketed for faster recovery.
