VB Spine entered into an agreement to acquire the SpineHawk platform from Robotron Surgical Technologies, a developer of advanced spinal endoscopy surgical systems, which originated the SpineHawk platform as part of its broader work in AI-powered visualization.
The acquisition includes Robotron’s single-use visualization-enabled spinal instruments, software-enabled intraoperative image recognition technology, and related intellectual property. The platform is designed to integrate into established spine workflows and support direct intraoperative visualization during key steps of a procedure.
VB Spine expects the initial SpineHawk offering to include visualization-enabled instruments and a high-definition camera console, with targeted sales in 2026 following FDA clearance. In future phases, VB Spine intends to advance AI-enabled software capabilities, including image analysis designed to assist surgeons by identifying relevant anatomical structures in the surgical field. Robotron’s technology, designed to be compatible with standard operating room monitors, applies machine-learning-based image recognition to intraoperative video streams, enabling contextual interpretation of spinal anatomy in real time.
Following the transaction, VB Spine will assume ownership of the acquired assets and intellectual property. Robotron Surgical Technologies will support VB Spine with a team of engineers to expand the SpineHawk platform and broaden VB Spine’s capabilities across workflow, software, and adjacent product categories over time.
