  • 139

Regulatory News:

SpineGuard (Paris:ALSGD) (FR0011464452 – ALSGD), an innovative company that deploys its DSG® (Dynamic Surgical Guidance) sensing technology to secure and streamline the placement of bone implants, announces today the grant of three new patents in the United States, Singapore and Russia.

The “multi-electrodes” patent granted in the United States describes the implementation of the DSG technology via multiple electrodes in order to perform 3D electromagnetic mapping of the operated region.

Furthermore, two patents granted in Singapore and in Russia extend until 2035 the protection of the DSG technology (Dynamic Surgical Guidance) for guidance in bone via tissue conductivity measurement, in-situ, in real time and without utilization of X-rays.

Stéphane Bette, Deputy CEO and co-founder of SpineGuard, said: “SpineGuard pursues innovation for securing and streamlining the placement of implants in bone. The new “multi-electrodes” patent, taken in combination with our new interface “DSG Connect” and our intellectual property in robotic applications, paves the way for the development of new disruptive products in strategic markets. The United States are by far the first market worldwide for medical devices, hence a major benefit in holding key patents there. The two “real time” patents granted in Singapore and in Russia strengthen the already solid protection of our core technology DSG and extend it until 2035. Our IP portfolio now entails a total of 71 patents divided into 13 families. They cover all the main global geographies of our market. This step forward provides additional and increased value for our shareholders and is useful in the context of the current discussions for establishing strategic structuring alliances.”
