Honest
We say what’s confirmed and what isn’t. If a size, a date or a licence isn’t settled yet, you hear it from us first.
Our story
It started with one question: who answers for the case?
- What we saw
- Wide catalogues, thin support, and no one answerable when a case went wrong.
- What we chose
- A focused spinal and cranial range, held and supported locally by people who know it.
- What it means for you
- A name on every case, from booking to close.
Dewald PostmaManaging Director, Vertevance Medical
Who we are
We import and support a deliberately small range of spinal and cranial fixation systems for South African hospitals. Small by choice, so every case gets the same care.
Direct from the manufacturer
Every system comes straight from Double Medical, with no intermediary distributor in between.
Held and tracked here
Stock is kept in South Africa and traced by batch, case and hospital, from arrival to use.
Supported by people you know
A trained specialist supports your list, within the technical role the profession sets. Nothing is handed to a call centre.
We grow carefully. A new hospital or product family comes on only when we can support it as well as the first.
Consistency is the product. The implant is simply what carries it.
Honest. Committed. Pushing the boundary.
What you can hold us to, on every case.
Committed
The same people on the same lists, for the long run. When a case needs us, we’re there before, during and after it.
Pushing the boundary
We keep raising the standard of support: better-prepared kits, faster restocking, and a complete record on the day of the case.
From manufacturer to theatre
One line of accountability, with nothing in between.

Manufactured by a specialist medical-device group
Vertevance imports and supports; Double Medical designs and builds. The two roles stay visibly separate.
Double Medical is Vertevance's manufacturing partner for the cervical, thoracolumbar and cranial product families on this site — responsible for their design, manufacture and manufacturing quality system. Vertevance is not the manufacturer of any device it supplies: its own responsibility begins at import, and covers local stock, traceability and theatre-level support in South Africa.
