Spine Wave and eCential Robotics announce a partnership to co-develop spine surgery applications and co-market the eCential Robotics open platform for robotic surgery in the USA

SHELTON, Conn. and GIÈRES (GRENOBLE), France, Oct. 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Backbone Wave, a number one supplier of spine surgical procedure options and eCential Robotics, a development MedTech firm that designs and produces an open platform unifying robotics, surgical navigation, and 2D/3D robotic imaging, as we speak introduced they’ve entered right into a long-term collaboration settlement. The collaboration, involving growth, advertising and marketing, and commercialization, will provide a mixed optimized resolution and improve robotic spine surgical procedure.

Combining progressive applied sciences and strengths

eCential Robotics and Backbone Wave have agreed to collaborate to supply a mix of their built-in applied sciences and options addressing robotic spine surgical procedures. Constructed on the technical excellence of their merchandise and a typical long-term imaginative and prescient, a collaboration combining two important belongings is rising:

eCential Robotics Platform

eCential Robotics’ evolving and open surgical platform is targeted on offering optimized robotics options for bone surgical procedure, in relation with intra-operative imaging options. The platform is a common resolution open to surgeons’ alternative of implant methods, designed to develop to a variety of surgical purposes and connect with generally used 2D/3D imaging units. The platform goals at turning into a typical within the OR, to cowl all neuro-musculo-skeletal procedures, focusing on worthwhile shared use of the platform throughout hospital departments.

Backbone Wave Spinal Implants and Instrumentation

The Salvo® Backbone System addresses most thoracolumbar fixation procedures with a sophisticated modular screw design whereby the separate “tulip” and “shank” elements of the screw will be assembled in-situ after surgical decompression or on the again desk previous to implantation. This versatility can improve visibility inside the surgical discipline even with much less invasive procedures. Surgeons admire the distinct audible and visible keys that make affirmation of correct screw meeting simple and dependable. The novel modular tensioned head prevents the tulip from “flopping”, which facilitates rod approximation into the screws. Taken collectively, these options could make thoracolumbar fixation procedures simpler and sooner. Hospitals admire how Salvo® Backbone System’s modular design can present a full complement of implant choices with fewer circumstances and trays to keep up, which can scale back their working prices.

Taking full benefit of Backbone Wave implant options utilizing the eCential Robotics platform

With a streamlined workflow and a smartphone-inspired consumer interface, spine surgeons will profit from eCential Robotics’ state-of-the-art built-in platform, absolutely suitable with Backbone Wave’s complete and confirmed portfolio. Navigation and robotics will make it attainable to completely make the most of the precise options of Backbone Wave’s progressive spine implants and contribute to optimizing surgical procedures. The collaboration may even deliver sufferers the advantages of the newest advances in navigation, robotics, and implant applied sciences.

Integrating the eCential Robotics open surgical platform with Backbone Wave’s thoracolumbar fixation merchandise, together with the Salvo® 5.5/6.0mm Backbone System in open and MIS configurations, is an preliminary collaboration goal. Different main Backbone Wave merchandise can be thought-about for integration because the collaboration progresses.

“Backbone Wave is worked up to enter the robot-assisted spine surgical procedure market in collaboration with eCential Robotics,” stated Laine Mashburn, Backbone Wave’s Govt Vice President, International Advertising & Enterprise Growth. “Combining eCential Robotics’ applied sciences and robotics capabilities with ours in minimally invasive spine surgical procedure will create significant advantages for surgeons, hospitals and their sufferers, and aggressive benefits and development alternatives for each eCential Robotics and Backbone Wave.”

Mrs. Laurence Chabanas, eCential Robotics Chief Technique Officer, declared: “We’re delighted to collaborate with Backbone Wave, a well-established US spine market participant and a frontrunner in minimally invasive spine surgical procedure. The collaboration will allow us to develop and market the equal of the smartphone for medical robots. Because of our “open” technique, eCential Robotics’ method is to collaborate and intensify our partnerships with a number of know-how and implant options corporations. As we proceed to develop and increase our platform, opening the platform additionally means compatibility with numerous 3D imaging units and internet hosting companions’ proprietary purposes.” “This collaboration with Backbone Wave additionally helps our penetration of the US market,” she added.
