What is it?
Globus Medical ExcelsiusGPS is a robotic navigation system for spine surgery, combining a robotic arm with intraoperative imaging to guide pedicle screw placement with sub-millimetre accuracy in spinal fusion and deformity correction.
Who is it for?
- Spine surgeons performing complex pedicle screw fixation in thoracic and lumbar surgery
- Academic spine centres performing high-complexity deformity and tumour cases
- Hospitals building robotic spine surgery programmes to attract complex referrals
- Surgeons transitioning from fluoroscopy-guided to image-guided robotic screw placement
Key specs
- Guidance: robotic arm + intraoperative 3D imaging
- Accuracy: sub-millimetre screw trajectory
- Integration: intraoperative CT + fluoroscopy
- Lock mechanism: instrument position hold
- Procedures: pedicle screw fixation, deformity
How it compares
Vs Medtronic Mazor X: ExcelsiusGPS integrates navigation and robotics in one system. Mazor X has a larger installed base and longer clinical evidence record. Both compete for spine robotic market leadership with similar technical capabilities.
Limitations
- $1M–$1.5M capital cost
- Learning curve for surgical team workflow integration
- Intraoperative imaging adds radiation exposure vs pre-operative CT approaches
- Competitor Mazor X has larger installed base and evidence record
FAQ
How much does the Globus Medical ExcelsiusGPS cost?
Globus Medical ExcelsiusGPS pricing is available through Globus Medical's spine sales network. Enterprise robotic surgery systems in this class are priced at $1M–$1.5M. Contact Globus for formal pricing.
What is the ExcelsiusGPS used for?
ExcelsiusGPS is a robotic navigation system for spine surgery, combining a robotic arm with intraoperative 3D imaging to guide pedicle screw placement and other spine surgical instruments with sub-millimetre accuracy.
What are the key specs of the ExcelsiusGPS?
ExcelsiusGPS provides robotic arm guidance for screw trajectory, integrates with intraoperative CT and fluoroscopy, offers real-time navigational feedback, and uses a locking mechanism to hold instruments in planned positions during screw insertion.
Who uses the ExcelsiusGPS?
ExcelsiusGPS is used by spine surgeons performing pedicle screw fixation in spinal fusion, deformity correction, and tumour cases where screw placement accuracy is critical to patient safety and surgical outcome.
What makes ExcelsiusGPS different from other spine robotics platforms?
ExcelsiusGPS integrates navigation and robotics in a single system versus some competing platforms that combine separate navigation and robotic components. This reduces OR setup time and eliminates registration discrepancy between separate systems.
