Overcome the challenges of pedicle screw placement...
Pedicle screw-based stabilization has become the gold standard for treating spine instabilities and deformities.  This market is growing due to the increasing number of patients requiring surgical treatment and a larger number of surgeons being trained in pedicle screw-based technologies.  Technological advancements such as minimally invasive surgery, bone substitutes, dynamic stabilization and thoracic screws further reiterate the importance of pedicle screw placement in spine surgery.
Accuracy of pedicle screw placement is a critical issue in spine surgery:

• 10-40% of pedicle screws have been reported as misplaced.
• 2-10% of that number have resulted in pathological consequences.

With initial results of U.S. and European multi-centric clinical studies confirming its potential, the PediGuard® is emerging as the most compelling answer to this clinical need for safer pedicle screw placement.

PediGuard is the first and only handheld, wireless device that can detect possible vertebral cortex perforation during pedicle preparation for screw placement.

PediGuard can alert the surgeon prior to a breach by accurately analyzing the electrical conductivity of the surrounding tissues in real-time.
