Highridge Medical entered into an exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with Waypoint Orthopedics. This strategic distribution agreement provides Highridge Medical with Waypoint GPS (Guided Pedicle System), an enabling technology platform that gives surgeons real-time guidance for pedicle screw placement without the radiation or complexity of traditional navigation and robotics.
Highridge plans to launch the product later this year.
Waypoint GPS is a fully disposable, single-use pedicle probe that uses proprietary color-sensing technology to provide physicians with real-time visual feedback to determine the difference between cancellous and cortical bone, as well as confirmation of the location of the cutting edge of the probe.
The device looks and feels like a standard reusable pedicle probe and requires little change in technique. The smart, disposable instrument is designed to enhance the surgical experience by helping physicians identify the location of the probe in the pedicle as they advance it, avoiding cortical breaches and reducing the radiation required during traditional surgery.
