The introduction of the device expands SpineGuard’s surgical guidance platform for enhanced pedicle screw placement.
“The bevel-tip is a much needed addition to the Cannulated PediGuard product offering. In my experience, using needles with such a tip minimizes ‘skiving’ of the needle at the pedicle entry point and helps me steer the needle as I am advancing down a pedicle. This tip and the PediGuard technology are a perfect complement to each other: the technology tells me accurately in real-time what’s ahead and the tip helps me effortlessly steer accordingly,” said John Williams, MD, a spine surgeon from Ft. Wayne, Ind., in a news release.
