"Pierre Jérôme and Stéphane Bette founded SpineGuard in 2009 with the idea of delivering the clinical benefits of the DSG® (Dynamic Surgical Guidance) technology to as many patients as possible. SpineGuard’s primary goal is to establish the DSG technology as a standard of care to SECURE AND STREAMLINE SKELETAL IMPLANT PLACEMENT for the benefit of patients, surgeons, operating room staff, healthcare providers and SpineGuard’s shareholders."
Our Technology
"DSG is a powerful radiation-free real time sensing technology platform that was co-invented by Professor Ciaran Bolger, MD PhD, Maurice Bourlion, PhD, and Alain Vanquaethem. The PediGuard devices, which incorporate the DSG Technology, were the first handheld devices capable of alerting surgeons in real time of potential vertebral cortical wall breaches. Fourteen studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals have demonstrated the multiple benefits of DSG® Technology. Building on these solid fundamentals and several strategic partnerships, SpineGuard has expanded its technology platform into disruptive innovations: the «smart» pedicle screw launched, in late 2017, in dental implantology and is broadening the scope of applications to surgical robotics."
