DePuy Synthes is launching a proprietary dual-use robotics and standalone navigation platform developed in collaboration with eCential Robotics. The VELYS Active Robotic-Assisted System (VELYS SPINE) received FDA 510(k) clearance and is intended for use in planning and instrumenting spinal fusion in the cervical, thoracolumbar and sacroiliac regions.
VELYS SPINE is dual use, meaning it features both a standalone navigation and an active robotics platform that can enable surgeon flexibility in their approach and plans. Active robotics allows for surgical guidance tailored to surgeon preference.
The VELYS SPINE system offers a customizable experience with pathology-specific workflows, aided by capabilities such as VELYS ADAPTIVE TRACKING TECHNOLOGY and VELYS Trajectory Assistance. It will be used with the DePuy Synthes core Spine portfolio of products, including the TriALTIS Spine System and Navigation Enabled Instruments, the SYMPHONY Occipito-Cervico-Thoracic System, VIPER PRIME and EXPEDIUM VERSE Systems.
The VEYLS system helped DePuy Synthes improve its sales results for joint replacement as it quickly made international inroads. The company is counting on VELYS to do the same for a spine business mired in a multi-year slide as it struggles to deal with competitive pressures. Robotics have become a massive competitive edge for the top players in spine like Medtronic and Globus Medical.
