SpineGuard Obtains the Clearance of Three New PediGuard® Models in China

Extension to add the Curved and XS PediGuard models
Designation change

PARIS & BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Regulatory News:

SpineGuard (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, today announced that the Chinese authorities (NMPA) have cleared the Curved and XS PediGuard models, as well as a designation change for its products.

Stéphane Bette, Deputy CEO and cofounder of SpineGuard, stated: “This key milestone is a great satisfaction for the SpineGuard team. Our product offering in China will be upgraded by the clearance of PediGuard models which were not yet available in China, while they were in other geographies such as Europe or the United States where they have encountered true commercial success. Indeed, the curved tip features an asymmetrical sensor that provides the surgeon with a directional information, allowing to detect a cortical bony wall and to redirect away from it in order to avoid the breach. This is particularly useful in scoliosis treatment where the vertebral anatomy can be complex and deformed. The “XS” models benefit a miniaturized sensor allowing for utilization in pediatric surgery or in the cervical spine, where the anatomy is tiny. In addition, the designation change that we obtained for our entire product range should facilitate hospital registration and purchase process. This approval should have a positive impact on our 2026 revenue, once we have launched these new products on the Chinese market, trained our sales force and surgeons, and obtained their listing in hospitals.”
