First spine surgeries using the ExcelsiusGPS at Hopkins
"Surgeries using ExcelsiusGPS were performed last week at The in Baltimore, Maryland and St. Mark’s Hospital in Salt
Lake City, Utah. The surgical team at Johns Hopkins was led by
neurosurgeons Dr. Nick Theodore and Dr. Ali Bydon, while orthopedic
spine surgeon Dr. Kade Huntsman performed the surgeries at St. Marks.
“ExcelsiusGPS is the only robotic system that
combines surgical navigation and robotic guidance for spinal surgery,
which offers significant advantages to spine surgeons,” said Dr.
Huntsman, “The system has been designed to take into account the typical
surgical workflow to facilitate procedural efficiency.”
“ExcelsiusGPS is the culmination of years of
research and development efforts and demonstrates Globus Medical’s
superior product development capabilities,” said Norbert Johnson, Vice
President of Robotics, Imaging, & Navigation. “We
believe the ExcelsiusGPS System will advance patient care and provide
tangible benefits for surgeons and hospitals in terms of time, accuracy
and reduced radiation exposure through the application of robotic and
navigation technology in spine and orthopedic surgery.”
ExcelsiusGPS supports minimally invasive and open
screw placement procedures. It seamlessly integrates Globus Medical
implants and instruments and is compatible with pre-operative CT,
intra-operative CT and fluoroscopic imaging modalities. The system is
designed to minimize radiation exposure, streamline workflow, and
reproducibly assist in implant placement.
Globus Medical expects its first revenues from the
sale of ExcelsiusGPSt systems to occur in the fourth quarter 2017, in
alignment with current company guidance."
