SpineGuard, a company that has focused on making spinal surgery safer with the use of disposable devices, has announced the CE marking for its DSG (Dynamic Surgical Guidance) Threaded Drill and the development of a surgical procedure that could correct thoraco-lumbar scoliosis.
“As a long-standing user of PediGuard probes, I find that this smart threaded drill is a useful technical improvement. It allows to prepare the entry point, redirect the trajectory when needed and remain in cancellous bone,” Richard Assaker, MD, Professor of Neurosurgery at Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Lille, France stated in a release. “If appropriate, we can also cross the cortical wall with a very high level of precision.”
Stéphane Bette, CTO and Co-Founder of SpineGuard, added: “This novel application of our DSG™ technology is the fruit of a close collaboration between our R&D team and our expert consulting surgeons. In line with healthcare systems expectations, SpineGuard continues to bring to market disruptive products designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of surgical procedures.”
SpineGuard is set to announce its third quarter revenue on October, 6.
