Spineart, a provider of spinal surgery implants, and eCential Robotics, a company that designs and produces and open system unifying robotics, surgical navigation, and 2D/3D robotic imaging, entered a long-term collaboration agreement.
The deal involves research and development, marketing, and commercialization. Training centers for augmented spine surgery trial will be available to surgeons in the U.S. and Europe.
eCential’s integrated platform offers a streamlined workflow and smartphone-inspired user interface and is fully compatible with Spineart’s portfolio of spine implants.
Jerome Trividic, Spineart’s CEO, told the press, "there's a strong cultural and geographical fit between our companies. Combining and leveraging eCential Robotics' technology in navigation and robotics with Spineart's expertise in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery, is the ultimate expression of our Quality, Innovation, Simplicity philosophy. We strongly believe that our combined efforts will rapidly establish the integrated platform as the reference in augmented spine surgery with navigation and robotic assistance."
Stéphane Lavallée, eCential Robotics’ CEO, added, "we are pleased to collaborate with Spineart, a robust and fast-growing partner, which enables us to develop and market the equivalent of the smartphone for medical robots. Thanks to our ‘open’ strategy, eCential Robotics is already collaborating, and will intensify its partnerships, with several technology companies and implant manufacturers to associate our platform with diverse 3D imaging devices and proprietary applications."
