What to know:
1. A lab experiment examined DSG’s robotic application for detecting the boundary between bone and soft tissues during vertebral drilling done by a robot and automatically stopping at the limit.
2. The experiment found 100 percent of drillings stopped within “a corridor considered as clinically safe, of 2 millimeters on each side of the interface between bone and soft tissues.”
3. The experiment was a collaboration with Sorbonne University in Paris.
4. SpineGuard’s cofounder and deputy CEO said: “[The results] present a no-fail profile with no false negatives nor false positives in 100 ‘blind’ drillings. … Their clinical application is broad across the entire orthopedic field because they demonstrate in a quantitative manner the potential of our DSG technology to secure robotic drillings and in particular those destined to place implants.”
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
