Surgalign announced the first major upgrade of the HOLO Portal™ Surgical Guidance System since the initial case was performed in 2022. Since launch, the company has worked with surgeons to enhance system functionality and expand use cases in the operating room.
This next-generation system includes over 250 enhancements in software, hardware upgrades and integration with new instrumentation, including over 20 new surgical tools designed for use with HOLO Portal. These improvements were designed to better support open lumbar pedicle screw procedures by adding an array of new pedicle preparation tools and also includes advancements in workflow and setup. The company expects these improvements to expand the number of cases where HOLO Portal can be used, and to save time in existing HOLO Portal cases.
All HOLO Portal customers will receive the upgrade, as HOLO Portal is currently offered with evergreen upgrades of software and hardware.
Terry Rich, President and Chief Executive Officer of Surgalign, commented, “As part of our limited market release of HOLO Portal last year, we worked closely with our surgeon partners to incorporate their feedback from clinical use to advance HOLO Portal’s capabilities. We expect this release to increase the utilization of HOLO Portal among both current and future surgeons, as it better supports screw placement in open procedures, which represents about 80% of lumbar fusions, while providing a better workflow and operating environment. Additionally, we have further upgrades planned which should help drive further adoption in the second half of the year and into 2024 and beyond.”
