Our goal is to provide clinical solutions to the unmet needs of surgeons related to improving patient safety and improving practice outcomes, â€said Jeff Wertz, Executive Vice President of Spine, WishBone Medical . “Increasing accuracy rates when making a pilot hole in axially rotating spines during scoliosis surgery is critical to a successful outcome. Additionally, surgical teams can dramatically reduce the amount of radiation exposure in children associated with preoperative CT scans and intraoperative x-rays taken during surgery, a significant risk factor that can be significantly reduced and minimized in AIS procedures.
“We will implement this very promising collaboration in close cooperation to integrate with our existing network of US agents, taking advantage of the new DSG Connect platform which adds visual display and data logging capabilities. Despite the evolution of today’s spine surgery solutions, the design logic inherent in the DSG continues to elevate the key elements that have kept DSG technology extremely relevant in this risk mitigation, low exposure. radiation, minimal setup, and a 12-year clinical history of providing true -time accuracy that rivals all other much more expensive modalities, â€said Patrick Pilcher, vice president of sales and marketing, SpineGuard America.

The safety and efficacy of using DSG for spinal surgery has been proven by more than 85,000 surgeries worldwide and supported by 17 peer-reviewed scientific publications.* DSG probes provide haptic and tactile sensation, act as an internal GPS system inside the pedicle, and enhance the ability of residents and fellows to place spinal implants more precisely for increased patient safety.1 The literature maintains that DSG accuracy rates are equal to or better than navigation / robotic alternatives, without the inconvenience of disrupting surgical workflow and avoiding intraoperative CT scans. The combination of DSG technology with the ASTRA Spine Deformation System will provide a clinical solution to help meet the growing needs of the pediatric spine surgeon community.
