Globus Medical Launches ExcelsiusHub™ For Advanced Spine Surgery Navigation

Globus Medical, Inc., a leader in musculoskeletal solutions, has announced the commercial launch of the ExcelsiusHub™ navigation system. This innovative platform expands the Excelsius™ technology ecosystem and sets a new platform for freehand navigation in spine surgery.

ExcelsiusHub™ empowers surgeons with real-time visualisation for precise instrument placement, reducing dependence on X-ray imaging and potentially lowering operating room radiation compared to traditional fluoroscopy. It supports accurate screw and interbody spacer implant placement. ExcelsiusHub™ combines cutting-edge safety and imaging advancements with a complete procedural toolkit, elevating the standard of care in spine surgery. 

Dan Scavilla, president and chief executive officer of Globus Medical, said, “This launch extends the capabilities and reach of our Excelsius™ ecosystem. We now have a technology platform that fits various 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 designed for less invasive procedures with potentially lower radiation exposure.”

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, “We have had great success with the adoption of the ExcelsiusGPS™ robot and Excelsius3D™ imaging systems in spinal surgery at our institution. 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.”

Key features of ExcelsiusHub™ include:

• Enhanced safety: Tools like patient array shift tracking and navigation of the DuraPro™ Oscillating System prioritise patient safety.

• Imaging flexibility: Three workflows support automatic registration with Excelsius3D™, CT-to-fluoroscopy merging for implant planning, and quick 2D navigation re-registration during surgery.

• Comprehensive solutions: Enables navigation of Globus instruments and implants, covering procedures from the cervical spine to the sacrum.

“ExcelsiusHub™ has been a big advancement for our practice and patients in the Dayton area. We can work faster with navigation because it offers enhanced accuracy compared to conventional techniques. One of the things I like about it is the alert when accuracy may be compromised. ExcelsiusHub™ is intuitive for surgeons and medical staff, so there is little wasted time. Overall, this is a technological enhancement that may result in more efficient operating rooms and surgical solutions for patients,” said Dr. Ryan Godinsky, a fellowship-trained spine surgeon at Mayfield Brain & Spine in Ohio. 

Dr. Norah Foster of Miami Valley Spine Center in Ohio said in a statement, “ExcelsiusHub™ supports a variety of procedures, from minimally invasive to complex spinal deformity surgeries, enabling us to enhance surgical care and optimise treatment for many spine patients at Miami Valley Hospital South. Our goal has always been to do the right surgery for the right patient for the right reason. ExcelsiusHub™ is where innovation meets accuracy, giving us the right tool to elevate spinal surgical excellence for our patients.”
