ExcelsiusHub joins the Audobon, Pennsylvania–based company’s ecosystem of Excelsius technologies. Globus Medical designed it to elevate the standard for freehand navigation, giving surgeons real-time visualization of instrument placement. Freehand navigation helps reduce the reliance on X-ray imaging during spine surgery and facilitates accurate screw and implant placement. The company says it may also reduce operating room radiation compared to conventional fluoroscopy.

Globus Medical — one of the largest orthopedic device companies in the world — says ExcelsiusHub offers advantages over other navigation systems through features designed to enhance the safety and reproducibility of spine navigation. That includes real-time patient array monitoring, tissue-sparing drills and registration flexibility.
