Making Spine Surgery SaferSpineGuard is a French innovative medical company dedicated to the deployment and adoption of DSG® (Dynamic Surgical Guidance), powerful radiation-free real time sensing technology platform that spans a broad spectrum of skeletal applications from bone drilling instruments to automated placement of bone implants. Uniquely positioned to change the game in orthopedic robotic surgery.Devices, built with the DSG technology, give real-time audio and visual feedback to the surgeons to secure and streamline skeletal implant placement for the benefit of patients, surgeons, operating room staff and healthcare providers. The PediGuard probes are the only devices with built-in DSG capability to improve the accuracy of pedicle screw placement. The PediGuard probes are handheld tools used by spine surgeons to perform pilot holes in the vertebrae before pedicle screw placement. An electrical conductivity measurement sensor, located at the tip of the drilling instruments, alerts the surgeon in real time and without using X-Ray imaging, about changes in conductivity that occur at the transition between cancellous bone, cortical bone and soft tissues/ blood. These devices are used in surgeries for all kind of patients, from pediatric in deformity corrections to adult in degenerative diseases requiring internal fixation. These medical devices have assisted spine surgeons in accurately placing pedicle screws in over 80,000 spinal procedures around the world. With mounting clinical evidence (16 major Peer-Reviewed publications) confirming its efficacy, PediGuard devices are becoming a compelling answer to the clinical needs associated with safe and accurate pedicle screw placement.
