SpineGuard, based in San Francisco and Paris, announced it has signed an agreement with MBA, an international medical device marketing and distribution firm, to exclusively distribute SpineGuard's PediGuard device in Italy, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom, effective immediately, according to a SpineGuard news release.

The PediGuard device is CE-Marked and FDA-cleared and designed for safer pedicle screw placement in spine surgery. In January, SpineGuard announced that the 10,000th case had been performed using its PediGuard device, according to the release.

"I believe MBA has the right attributes to be successful with PediGuard," Pierre Jérôme, CEO of SpineGuard, said in the release. "MBA has built a robust sales and marketing organization over the years, and they have strong credibility among spine surgeons. I have been particularly impressed by the quality of MBA's management team and by their state-of-the-art training facilities. I look forward to a fruitful collaboration between SpineGuard and MBA and seeing PediGuard become a standard of care for pedicle screw placement in the UK, Spain, Portugal and Italy."
