ChoiceSpine LLC, a privately-held U.S. spinal implant company, in collaboration with eCential Robotics, a leading innovator in surgical robotics, proudly announces the launch of the ChoiceSpine™ application (App) for surgical use on the eCential Op.n™ robotic and navigation platform.

This milestone represents a significant leap forward in spine surgery, integrating advanced navigation and robotic-assisted technology to support both open and minimally invasive spine procedures. The ChoiceSpine™ application will function on the Op.n™ platform, working in tandem with ChoiceSpine's core spine portfolio. This includes the following ChoiceSpine Navigation-enabled instrumentation:

  • Thunderbolt™ MIS Pedicle Screw System
  • Thunderbolt™ Extended Tab MIS Pedicle Screw System
  • Lancer™ Open Pedicle Screw System

The Op.n™ platform enhances the precision of implant placement and reduces radiation exposure while improving procedural efficiency.

Steve Ainsworth, Ph.D., ChoiceSpine's Co-President, said, "Robotics has become a significant competitive advantage in modern healthcare, and we are thrilled to expand our presence in this space through our collaboration with eCential Robotics. By combining the advanced capabilities of the eCential Robotics platform with our comprehensive spinal implant portfolio, we are setting a new standard in spine surgery.

"This strategic partnership enables us to deliver innovative solutions that enhance patient outcomes and improve procedural efficiency. It exemplifies our commitment to bringing technically superior spinal devices to the market—and doing Spine the Right Way℠."

"We are excited to see our APP ecosystem growing, delivering on our vision to provide procedural option choices for surgeons while minimizing the capital investment cost for medical facilities," commented Clement Vidal, CEO of Surgical Robotics.

The release of the new ChoiceSpine App marks another significant milestone for eCential Robotics in democratizing access to spinal Robotic surgery.
