Paris & San Francisco – Officials from SpineGuard, an innovative company that designs, develops, and markets disposable medical devices intended to make spine surgery safer, announced a co-development partnership with Zavation for the integration of its Dynamic Surgical Guidance (DSG) technology into Zavation’s pedicle screw system.
Zavation is an employee-owned medical device company based in Jackson, Mississippi, which designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes spine products that provide comprehensive medical solutions to improve and enhance quality of life for patients around the world.
SpineGuard’s DSG technology will be embedded into Zavation’s pedicle screw system to provide unprecedented accuracy, enhance spine surgery work flow, and match healthcare economic trends. This co-development partnership with Zavation represents the first partnership with a U.S.-domiciled spine company and is a key milestone in SpineGuard’s progression toward the launch of its smart screw platform in the U.S. market, the largest in the world.
“We are delighted to partner with Zavation for the swift introduction of dynamically guided screws into the US market. Our early interaction is extremely promising, as our two companies are moving at the same pace,” said Pierre Jérôme, CEO and co-founder of SpineGuard. “This partnership will provide us with a beachhead for future expansion as our enabling technology gains increased exposure and triggers new revenue streams.”
