ZimVie Inc. has expanded its cooperation agreement with Brainlab, a company with a diversified spine imaging, planning, and navigation portfolio, as well as robotic imaging, surgical assistance, and mixed reality to support spinal surgeries.
“We are excited to partner with Brainlab to bring into the operating room differentiated technology aiming at enhancing workflow and accuracy for surgeons and staff,” ZimVie President/CEO Vafa Jamali said. “We have been focused on expanding our portfolio with enabling technology to drive greater adoption across our spine portfolio. Our common interest in delivering clinical and economic value to our customers and patients aligns perfectly with ZimVie’s strategic initiatives.”
ZimVie and Brainlab have started a joint project to achieve compatibility between ZimVie’s Vital and Virage fixation systems and Brainlab spine and trauma navigation technologies, which help surgeons plan and execute spinal procedures, accurately place pedicle screws, and minimize radiation exposure. In addition, ZimVie will co-market the Brainlab spine and trauma navigation technologies alongside its existing spine implant solutions globally.
“As the provider of an advanced portfolio of spine enabling technologies in the market, Brainlab is an ideal partner in our mission to make spine surgery more efficient and reproducible without compromising accuracy and safety,” ZimVie Global Spine President Rebecca Whitney stated. “Additionally, we will benefit from a complementary customer base with little overlap in existing accounts. The introduction of the Brainlab portfolio of enabling technologies to ZimVie surgeon customers represents potential upside for both companies and helps us to make an impact on the lives of physicians and patients.”
ZimVie develops, manufactures, and delivers products and solutions designed to treat a wide range of spine pathologies and support dental tooth replacement and restoration procedures. The company was founded in March 2022 as an independent, publicly traded spin-off of the Dental and Spine business units of Zimmer Biomet. From its headquarters in Westminster, Colo., and additional facilities around the globe, the company serves customers in more than 70 countries with dental and spine solutions.
Brainlab digitizes medical workflows, from diagnosis to therapy, to offer clinicians and patients better treatment possibilities. Its digital ecosystem forms the basis for modern healthcare technology in 6,300 hospitals in 120 countries. Munich-based Brainlab employs around 2,200 people in 25 locations worldwide.
