Regulatory News:
SpineGuard (Paris:ALSGD)(FR0011464452 – ALSGD), an
innovative company that deploys its DSG® (Dynamic Surgical
Guidance) local conductivity sensing technology to secure and
streamline the placement of bone implants, announced today the
obtention of the EC-MDR certification for its class IIa and Ir
devices, and that it can now launch its Threaded PediGuard for the
indication of anterior approach in spine surgery under the MDR
(Medical Device Regulation) in Europe.
The Medical Device Regulation (MDR) is the new regulation
applicable within the European Community for medical device
manufacturers to be allowed to sell their products. It
progressively replaces the European Medical Devices Directive
(MDD), significantly elevating the requirements for clinical
benefits evidence as well as safety measurements and follow-up.
Stéphane Bette, Deputy CEO and Co-Founder of SpineGuard,
stated: “We are very proud to have obtained this MDR
certification which has involved our entire team for more than two
years. It is another evidence of the dedication and professionalism
of our company which makes every effort to provide safe, effective
and innovative products to hospitals, physicians and patients.”
Already being widely utilized in posterior approach in various
spinal indications with success, the Threaded PediGuard range of
application is now being extended to include anterior scoliosis
correction in Europe. Some adolescents suffering from idiopathic
scoliosis require a spinal surgery to stop the progression of their
curve and correct their spine. A new trend is to treat these
patients using growth modulation. Instead of fixing the back of
these patients with posterior pedicle screws and rods, this new
technique aims to insert screws in the convex side of the spine and
link them with a cord that is partially tighten during the surgery.
As these adolescents have remaining growth, blocking the convexity
will help them open their concavity and further correct their
scoliosis by themselves while they complete their growth. The
potential benefits for the patients are immediate; thanks to a
minimally invasive surgery, they can have a quick recovery and keep
their spine flexibility. That is why, more and more pediatric
surgeons adopt this new technique for their patients, representing
an increasingly growing market.
Lateral screws placement in vertebral bodies is not without
risk. There are some neurological and vascular challenges to avoid
and the Threaded PediGuard is particularly well suited to help
secure this drilling unlike other modalities like neuromonitoring,
navigation or robotics.
Patricia Lempereur, Vice President of International Sales and
Global Marketing, added: “A large number of surgeons performing
anterior scoliosis correction are looking forward to use the
Threaded PediGuard in their practice. It will help them secure
their bi-cortical drilling which is crucial to ensure a good screw
anchorage but represents a surgical challenge. Surgeons will
significantly reduce the amount of X-rays needed during screw
placement and also reduce the surgical time. It will streamline
their procedure and make them more confident.”
