- The ideal complement to DSG's real-time, X-ray-free guidance technology
- Seeking industrial partnerships
Regulatory News:
SpineGuard (FR0011464452 ALSGD), an innovative company that deploys its digital surgical guidance (DSG) technology-which measures the electrical conductivity of tissues locally in real time-to ensure the safe and simplified placement of bone implants, announced today that it has been granted a new U.S. patent by the USPTO (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office) for a robotically assisted ultrasound technology designed to determine the entry point and pedicle drilling trajectory from the bony surface of the spine.
Stéphane Bette, Deputy CEO and Co-founder of SpineGuard, stated: Following our presentation at the CFA conference in April and the defense of the science thesis last December, we are very pleased with the granting of this patent in our largest market. The technology invented by SpineGuard's scientific team uses ultrasound in an innovative way to determine-without using X-rays-the entry point and drilling direction from the posterior surface of the bone. In a context where surgical assistance systems often present the drawback of relying heavily on X-rays, this technology offers significant value. When combined with our DSG technology for real-time bone breach detection, it serves as the ideal complement before the drill bit penetrates the bone to perform the drilling. This new patent demonstrates our continued commitment to innovation, and the next step is to seek an industrial partner to commercialize it.»
Since its founding, SpineGuard has developed and maintained a significant intellectual property portfolio that currently includes 11 patent families and 3 registered trademarks in key regions such as Europe, the United States, China, and Japan.
