VB Spine entered into a definitive agreement to acquire exclusive rights to the xvision Spine System from Augmedics, adding augmented reality (AR) navigation to VB Spine’s enhanced visualization portfolio. The transaction is expected to close in the coming weeks.
The xvision Spine System is designed to combine the benefits of navigation with the ease and utility of open surgery: visualization while looking directly at the patient, accuracy and precision, workflow efficiency, and radiation reduction. Nearly 13,000 patients have been treated with xvision to date.
This transaction builds on the company’s recent acquisition of the SpineHawk intraoperative spinal visualization platform from Robotron Surgical Technologies.
“We have long admired the xvision technology and potential of the platform,” said Marc Viscogliosi, co-CEO of VB Spine. “We believe with our implant integration and scale, we have the ability to harness the true potential of AR navigation. Combined with the SpineHawk platform, this will expand our existing spine solutions and supports our long-term roadmap to redefine spine care with differentiated technologies.”
“We are proud of the clinical impact xvision has made in spine surgery and VB Spine’s commitment to our world-class portfolio,” said Paul Ziegler, President and CEO of Augmedics. “This agreement will strengthen our competitive advantage as an augmented reality innovation engine as we turn our focus to expanding our reach into adjacent surgical indications.”
The xvision Spine System and software is FDA-cleared and intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open, minimally invasive, or percutaneous spine procedures.
