Principe Scientifique
La technologie DSG
Le principe scientifique de la technologie DSG est basé sur la conductivité électrique des tissus.
La conductivité électrique est la propriété d’un matériel à conduire un courant électrique :
- L’os cortical a une conductivité basse
- L’os spongieux a une conductivité moyenne
- Le périoste et le sang ont une conductivité élevée

With mounting clinical evidence confirming its efficacy, PediGuard devices, that integrate the DSG Technology, are becoming a compelling answer to the clinical needs associated with safe and accurate pedicle screw placement.
Screw placement accuracy and breach detection
- 97% screw placement accuracy including in osteoporotic patient (Bocquet 2005, Lubansu 2006, Chang 2009, Chaput 2011, Bai 2012, Heimen 2014, Suess 2016, Defino 2020, Zarate 2023)
- 98% breach detection, twice better than conventional technique (Bolger 2007)
- 100% medial pedicle breach anticipation (Williams 2014)
- 92.5% complex deformity, accuracy upper thoracic (Allaoui 2018)
- 3-times less neuro-monitoring alarms (Ovadia 2011)
Sécurité liée aux radiations et efficacité chirurgicale
- 73% de réduction de temps de radiation en MIS (Lubansu 2011)
- 30% de réduction du nombre de clichés radiographiques en abord ouvert (Chaput 2011, Bai 2012)
- 15% de gain de temps opératoire lors du placement des vis (Bai 2012)
Formation des jeunes internes
- 58% de réduction du taux d’effractions pédiculaires parmi les internes (Syed 2014)
New applications and techniques
- 91% cervical spine lateral mass and pedicle screw placement accuracy (Darden 2016, Koller 2018)
- « The DSG technology is useful for an optimal positioning of bi-cortical screws in the lateral mass of C1 » (Kageyama 2019)
- New technique with Sacro-Iliac fusion (Sandhu 2014)
PediGuard probes, that integrate the DSG Technology, have assisted spine surgeons in accurately placing over 330,000 pedicle screws worldwide.
