SpineGuard Secures Key US Patent for Innovative DSG-Enabled Safety Stop Technology
Paris, France – July 16, 2025 – SpineGuard, a leading innovator in surgical instrumentation, is pleased to announce it has obtained validation in the United States for its patent pertaining to a groundbreaking safety stop technology. This innovative system, activated by Dynamic Surgical Guidance (DSG), is designed to enhance the safety and precision of powered drilling tools utilized in a variety of surgical applications, including freehand, navigated, and robotically assisted procedures.
The newly validated US patent underscores SpineGuard’s commitment to advancing surgical safety and efficacy through pioneering technological solutions. The DSG-enabled safety stop is a sophisticated mechanism that intelligently detects and prevents over-penetration of drilling instruments, a critical concern in many minimally invasive surgical procedures, particularly in spinal surgery.
This advanced technology leverages SpineGuard’s proprietary Dynamic Surgical Guidance (DSG) platform, which provides real-time intraoperative information to surgeons. By integrating the safety stop feature with DSG, the system can proactively alert the surgeon or automatically halt the drill when it approaches critical anatomical structures or reaches a predetermined depth, thereby significantly reducing the risk of inadvertent injury to nerves, blood vessels, or other vital tissues.
The implications of this patent validation for the medical device industry and patient care are substantial. Powered drilling is a fundamental component of numerous surgical interventions. The introduction of a reliable and intelligent safety stop mechanism for these tools has the potential to revolutionize procedural safety, minimize complications, and ultimately improve patient outcomes.
“We are immensely proud to have secured this crucial patent validation in the United States,” said Stéphane B. Vidal, CEO of SpineGuard. “This recognition of our innovative safety stop technology represents a significant milestone for SpineGuard and reinforces our dedication to developing solutions that directly address the critical needs of surgeons and patients. The integration of DSG with this safety stop feature offers a new level of control and confidence in powered drilling, particularly in complex spinal procedures.”
SpineGuard anticipates that this patented technology will be a valuable addition to its portfolio of surgical instruments, further solidifying its position as a leader in intelligent surgical solutions. The company is actively exploring opportunities for the integration of this technology into its existing and future product lines, as well as potential licensing partnerships to broadly disseminate its benefits across the surgical community.
The validation of this patent in the US market is a testament to SpineGuard’s ongoing investment in research and development and its unwavering focus on enhancing surgical precision and patient well-being.
