Globus Medical commercially launched the ExcelsiusHub navigation system, which joins the expansive ecosystem of Excelsius technologies and is designed to elevate the standard for freehand navigation.

Dan Scavilla, president and chief executive officer of Globus Medical, said: “We now have a technology platform that fits a very wide variety of surgeons’ and hospitals’ needs, with design and footprint suited for both the hospital and ASC setting. We look forward to continuing to support our customers with technology that is designed for less invasive procedures with potentially lower radiation exposure.”

The ExcelsiusHub offers advantages over other navigation systems through features designed to enhance the safety and reproducibility of spine navigation such as real-time patient array monitoring, tissue-sparing drills, and registration flexibility.

This system includes safety features that pair navigational accuracy with features designed to enhance patient safety, such as patient array shift tracking and navigation of the DuraPro Oscillating System.

ExcelsiusHub has versatile imaging with three distinct workflows: Automatic registration with Excelsius3D, CT to fluoroscopy merging for preoperative implant planning and quick intraoperative re-registration, and intraoperative 2D navigation.

“We have had great success with the adoption of the ExcelsiusGPS robot and Excelsius3D imaging systems in spinal surgery at our institution,” said Dr. John O’Toole, Professor of Neurosurgery, Co-Director of Comprehensive Spine Tumor Clinic and Neuroscience Service Line, and Director of Neurosurgery Spine Fellowship, Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. “The addition of the ExcelsiusHub further broadens our options within the intraoperative navigation platform for implant placement accuracy and surgical efficiency over a wide array of cases.”
