Augmedics has achieved a remarkable milestone by completing its 10,000th augmented reality spine surgery using the xvision Spine System, setting a new record in AR navigation for spine surgery.

This achievement not only underscores the positive impact on 10,000 patient lives but also reflects Augmedics' dedication to transforming the surgical landscape through augmented reality.

UConn Health is home to one of the largest AR spine surgery programs in the United States, with six spine surgeons regularly utilizing the xvision system.

Dr. Moss has been utilizing AR navigation in surgeries at UConn Health since May 2022, showcasing the technology's effectiveness in real-world applications.

In conjunction with this milestone, Augmedics announced the US commercial launch of its CT-Fluoro registration method, which enhances navigation capabilities for spine surgeons.

Augmedics continues to lead in innovative AR technologies aimed at improving surgical outcomes, having treated over 10,000 patients and implanted more than 55,000 pedicle screws across 26 states.

The UConn spine faculty has reported enhanced operative efficiency and reduced radiation exposure since implementing the xvision system.

Dr. Isaac L. Moss, who performed the landmark 10,000th surgery, noted that augmented reality significantly reduces cognitive load for surgeons, leading to higher accuracy in complex procedures and improved patient outcomes.

Chris Hyers, Vice President of Marketing and Clinical Strategy at UConn Health, emphasized the advantages of being an early adopter of AR technology, which has bolstered the institution's reputation in a competitive medical landscape.

Paul Ziegler, President & CEO of Augmedics, highlighted the company's pioneering role in AR surgical navigation, being the first to receive FDA clearance for this innovative technology.
