CORUS™ Navigation Access System–GLX helps spine surgeons locate and prepare facet joints in open and minimally invasive spine procedures and is designed for use with Globus Medical’s ExcelsiusGPS™ Navigation.
PLEASANTON, California, Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Providence Medical Technology, Inc., an innovator in spine surgery solutions, announces that its CORUS™-GLX navigation access system (“CORUS-GLX system”) is now compatible with Globus Medical’s ExcelsiusGPS™ robotic navigation platform for use during spinal fusion surgery. This new compatibility clearance strengthens Providence Medical Technology’s lumbar fusion portfolio and underscores its commitment to improving surgical outcomes for high-risk spinal fusion patients.
The CORUS-GLX system is designed to help surgeons locate, access and prepare facet joints for posterior fusion procedures in the lumbar spine (lower back). It allows surgeons to seamlessly integrate CORUS instruments and implants with the ExcelsiusGPS™ platform. Surgical guidance and robotic navigation are increasingly used in spinal procedures, providing improved visualization and precise control, particularly for less invasive techniques.
Potential benefits of using the CORUS-GLX system in combination with robotic navigation platforms include:
Improved accuracy and precision when using surgical instruments and spinal implants, such as non-segmental instrumentation such as CORUS™-LX implants. Improved real-time visualization of facet joints and other anatomical structures during procedures. Optimized surgical workflow, which could lead to shorter operative times and lower risk of complications.
James Dowdell, MD, orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital for Special Surgery and instructor of orthopedic surgery at Weill Cornell Medical College, commented, “The integration of the CORUS-GLX system allows spine surgeons to perform tissue-sparing posterior lumbar fusion and facet fixation using advanced surgical navigation. This compatibility provides an accurate and reproducible workflow to achieve fusion of the entire spinal segment, which is vital for long-lasting results in high-risk lumbar fusion patients.”
“We are excited to integrate our CORUS technology with another leading robotic navigation platform,” said Jeff Smith, CEO of Providence Medical Technology. “This compatibility is another step forward in our mission to establish Total Segment Fusion (TSF) as the standard of care in spinal fusion. Surgeons using navigation in lumbar spine surgery can now easily integrate our facet fixation and tissue-sparing posterior fusion technology into their surgical workflow.”
