Originally incorporated as Leeds Ligaments in 1984, Xiros was established in 2000 to provide innovative medical design, engineering and manufacturing services for minimally invasive surgical implants with a particular emphasis on textile-based solutions for sports medicine and orthopaedic surgery.

Xiros aims to enhance quality of life for all of its stakeholders. It works in partnership with surgeons to help guide them through the process of making their ideas for new products and procedures accessible to patients, and makes its know-how, experience and facilities available to other medical device companies to assist them in achieving their own technology and commercial goals. Xiros' approach to quality of life goes beyond simple commercial considerations, seeking to understand the needs and aspirations of all those with whom the business comes into contact. It is committed to securing the future of the business as an independent privately owned entity and strives to ensure the people who work in and with the company are given the resources and the opportunities they need to allow them to use and develop their creativity.
