JUPITER, Fla. , Oct. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Captiva Spine is a medical device organization located in Jupiter, Florida, dedicated to delivering smart, elegant, and intuitive spinal fusion solutions. They announced today its long-term exclusive strategic partnership with REMEX Medical, a developer of advanced navigation and robotics technologies located in Taichung, Taiwan; for spine navigation with future developments in practical robotic solutions.
Captiva Spine looks forward to serving the substantial need and demand for both navigation and surgical robots for spinal applications. For underserved hospitals and Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs) throughout the U.S., the technology will serve as a platform to expand the company's products and services with enhanced enabling technology to support MIS technology; specifically starting with their CapLOX Pedicle Screws, TowerLOX-EXT MIS Extended Tab Pedicle Screws, and TransFasten Posterior SI joint fusion system.
Nelson Lin, CEO of REMEX Medical, said, "we are very pleased to enter the US marketplace with our new strategic partner, Captiva Spine. We share an enthusiasm and commitment to providing ongoing advancements for the betterment of spine care. REMEX has been researching and developing this platform for eight years with proven clinical performance."
The navigation system has 510(k) clearance from the FDA (U. S. Food and Drug Administration) and is available for commercial use. The navigation unit is a small on-site unit for more facilities looking to take advantage of the benefits of readily available, easy-to-use spine navigation. This model offers physicians, orthopedics, and neurosurgeons easy-to-use, cutting-edge technology to pre-plan and visualize their surgical approach. This platform utilizes preoperative CT scans and rapid intraoperative registration for accurate real-time 3D navigation with limited radiation exposure to staff and patients.
"This platform for navigation helps fulfill our commitment to being a clinical and economical solution with advanced enabling technology for spine care," said Dale Mitchell, President of Captiva Spine. "We plan to have a technically advanced navigation platform to improve spine procedural efficiency and be economically feasible for the growing number of ASCs and specialty hospitals throughout the United States," Mitchell continued.
The spine navigation platform will be demonstrated at Captiva Spine's booth (#3731) at the 2022 North American Spine Society (NASS) Annual Meeting in Chicago, IL, October 12-14.
Spine Navigation allows surgeons to oversee the precise placement of MIS pedicle screws while situated directly at the operation site, guided by navigation technology. "Our goal is to provide a technology for reproducibility of screw accuracy and placement with higher confidence and safety in difficult areas is also a goal in mind, as well as improving screw insertion times, especially in cases of difficult anatomy," said Mitchell.
Captiva Spine is planning to expand the system's capabilities to include robotics. Both platforms are intended to improve the reproducibility and accuracy of applicable procedures to meet the growing demand for enabling solutions worldwide.
