Globus Medical's ExcelsiusHub spine navigation system launched, the company said Nov. 22.
ExcelsiusHub is a freehand navigation system that includes real-time patient array monitoring, tissue-sparing drills and registration flexibility, according to a news release. It helps facilitate precise screw placement and may reduce operation room time compared to a conventional flouroscopy.
The system has three distinct workflows: automatic registration with Excelsius3D, CT to flouroscopy merging and interaoperative 2D navigation.
"This launch extends the capabilities and reach of our Excelsius ecosystem," Globus Medical CEO Dan Scavilla said in the release. "We now have a technology platform that fits a very wide variety of surgeons’ and hospitals’ needs, with design and footprint suited for both the hospital and ASC setting."
