Globus Augments Excelsius Navigation Capabilities

Globus Medical announced expanded Excelsius navigation capabilities of its next-gen oscillating system, DuraPro. This is the latest addition the company’s Power Portfolio, which was designed to boost workflows through safety features and efficiency.

DuraPro’s oscillating tech helps prevent soft tissue wrapping while keeping a natural sensation similar to conventional spinning drills when using Excelsius. The system provides instruments for efficient, accurate cutting to remove bone, while the oscillating tech helps safeguard delicate tissue.

It also boasts anti-skiving pilot hole drilling—the tech’s oscillating nature lets drill tips maintain trajectories without deviating from the starting point, and brush attachments facilitate thorough discectomies. DuraPro integrates with ExcelsiusGPS and ExcelsiusHub in both navigated and non-navigated workflows.

Drs. Roland Kent and David Glassman of Axis Spine Center in Cour D’Alene, Idaho said DuraPro lets them navigate around delicate structures during decompressions. “The integration with ExcelsiusGPS takes it a step further—providing real-time visualization for accuracy while reinforcing the safety benefits of oscillating technology,” they told the press.

The company also rolled out Verzera, a navigated high-speed drill system integrated with ExcelsiusGPS and ExcelsiusHub. Globus said Verzera bolsters surgeon workflows by allowing navigation of bone removal during surgeries.

“Our goal is to revolutionize the $550 million high-speed drill market with the introduction of innovative, next generation oscillation,” said David Hole, president of spine at Globus Medical. “The DuraPro oscillating system coupled with navigation enhances the procedural solutions we offer to surgeons to help advance patient care.”
