Aurora Spine signed a worldwide distribution and co-marketing agreement with Sentio to distribute the Sentio MMG nerve mapping system.
Sentio MMG is a surgical access tool used to locate and map motor nerve roots and their peripheral extensions originating from spinal levels C3-T1 and L2-S2. Sentio is currently cleared for use in the United States by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to assist in locating and mapping motor nerves.
"This co-marketing strategy strengthens our position at the forefront of minimally invasive spine surgery technologies," said Trent J. Northcutt, president and CEO of Aurora Spine. "We are excited about our relationship with Sentio MMG in conjunction with our VOX MIS lateral interbody system featuring TiNANO. The Sentio system was specifically designed to facilitate safe MMG monitoring during any MIS spine surgery. Aurora and Sentio share a vision to improve spine patient outcomes, drive continued surgeon interest and bolster relevance as key innovators in spine."
