SpineGuard's DSG Technology Applied to Robotics

Three Scientific Articles Presented at the Conference on New Technologies for Computer and Robot Assisted Surgery (CRAS) - Seite 2

2. The second paper, presented as a poster and entitled "Automatic bone breach detection for spine surgery based on bio-electrical conductivity sensing: Ex-vivo experimental validation" presents the results of bone breach detection and automatic stop of a vertebral drilling performed by a robot.

3. The third one, in the form of a poster as well, entitled "Force control of the KUKA LBR Med without external force sensor" describes a specific control mode that allows the robot to optimize utilization of DSG in order to detect the breach, and to follow the respiratory motion cycle during drilling.

These two posters and described algorithms are the fruits of the collaboration between SpineGuard and ISIR. Part of this work received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program, in the context of the FAROS project (Functional Accurate RObotic Surgery) under grant agreement No 101016985.

About SpineGuard

Founded in 2009 in France and the USA by Pierre Jérôme and Stéphane Bette, SpineGuard is an innovative company deploying its proprietary radiation-free real time sensing technology DSG (Dynamic Surgical Guidance) to secure and streamline the placement of implants in the skeleton. SpineGuard designs, develops and markets medical devices that have been used in over 85,000 surgical procedures worldwide. Nineteen studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals have demonstrated the multiple benefits DSG offers to patients, surgeons, surgical staff and hospitals. Building on these strong fundamentals and several strategic partnerships, SpineGuard has expanded the scope of its DSG technology in innovative applications such as the « smart » pedicle screw, the DSG Connect visualization and registration interface, dental implantology and surgical robotics. DSG was co-invented by Maurice Bourlion, Ph.D., Ciaran Bolger, M.D., Ph.D., and Alain Vanquaethem, Biomedical Engineer. SpineGuard has engaged in multiple ESG initiatives.
