Partnerships expand surgical microscope service and sales across 18 states
DENVER, Oct. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Western Microsurgical, LLC (“WMS”), a portfolio company of HealthEdge Investment Partners, LLC (“HealthEdge”), today announced the acquisitions of Q Surgical and Proficient Surgical. These partnerships bring together established regional businesses to expand WMS’s platform as an independent service organization (“ISO”) and provider of surgical microscopes, operating room products, and supplies to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (“ASCs”).
Founded in 2009, Q Surgical serves hospitals and ASCs in Northern California and Nevada, while Proficient Surgical, founded in 1996, serves the Northeast. Both companies bring longstanding relationships with surgical teams and leading manufacturers, along with expertise in surgical microscopy and complementary operating room products.
WMS also expanded its territory through the transfer of the Leica Microsystems sales and service contract previously held by Shawnee Medical in two states. With these additions, the combined company provides surgical microscope sales and service across 18 states in the western and northeastern United States.
The owners of Q Surgical and Proficient Surgical have retained meaningful ownership in the combined company and remain actively involved in its operations. Their continued leadership will support longstanding relationships with hospitals, ASCs, and surgical teams while helping drive the combined company’s next phase of growth.
“Q Surgical and Proficient Surgical have built strong reputations through deep product knowledge, longstanding relationships, and responsive service,” said Brian Bedrick, founder and CEO of WMS. “We are excited to partner with their owners and teams to build on those strengths. Together, we can deliver broader equipment and service capabilities to hospitals and ASCs while preserving the personal attention and local expertise they value.”
“Partnering with WMS is an exciting next step for Q Surgical,” said Will Aarsheim, co-founder of Q Surgical. “We share a commitment to supporting surgeons and operating room teams with the right equipment and dependable service. We look forward to remaining involved as owners and helping build the combined company.”
“We are proud of the business and relationships we have built at Proficient Surgical,” said Steven Baum, founder of Proficient Surgical. “This partnership brings together complementary teams with a shared focus on quality and service. Remaining invested in the combined company allows us to help shape its future while continuing to support the hospitals and surgical teams we have served for many years.”
The acquisitions advance WMS’s strategy of building a national surgical microscopy platform through partnerships with experienced operators. Financial terms were not disclosed.
