Which Spine products have been launched in 2022?

It is noteworthy that the large companies that dominate the Spine world market as Medtronic, Johnson&Johnson, Nuvasive, Stryker, and Globus Medical, have not made any launches in 2022 (at least as far as we know). More than a third (35%) have been by Seaspine followed by other companies such as Accelus, Camber Spine, Choicespine, NG Medical, 4WEB, Xenco Medical, Spinal Simplicity, Spineart, and Degen Medical.

From the product point of view, 64% of the launches were Cages, 9% were Cervical devices, 9% were Thoracolumbar systems, 9% were MIS, 5 % were Facet Screw, and 5% were Intespinous devices.

The spine market is changing. Now, large companies focus on technology (robotics) and image. Large and medium-sized companies want to differentiate themselves in a market where it is increasingly difficult to do so with innovative implants. We have seen this in recent times:

Medtronic (ROBOT+IMAGE): They have launched The Mazor X Stealth™ Edition robotic guidance system. They already have the O-ARM imaging platform.
Globus Medical (ROBOT+IMAGE): They have been very successful with the EXCELSIUS GPS and they have recently launched the EXCELSIUS 3D intraoperative imaging platform.
Stryker (ROBOT): They have invested in the MAKO robotic (not yet for spinal surgery)
Johnson&Johnson: (IMAGE): TELIGEN™ System
Nuvasive (IMAGE): Pulse integrates multiple enabling technologies to improve workflow, reduce variability and increase the reproducibility of surgical outcomes.
Seaspine (IMAGE): 7D Surgical’s Image-Guided Surgery.
ATEC (IMAGE): EOS imaging solutions include the EOSedge and the EOS system. Its orthopedic solutions include 3D modeling, 3D surgical planning tools, and operating room integration.
Accelus (ROBOT): Accelus robotic navigation system
ChoiceSpine (ROBOT): Just announced a long-term partnership with eCential Robotics to develop spinal surgery robotics.
Surgalign (IMAGE): HOLO Portal™, AI-driven augmented reality guidance system for spine.
Spineart (ROBOT): Just announced a long-term partnership with eCential Robotics to develop spinal surgery robotics.

What have we seen in 2022?

It seems that the development of new products has stalled in the large companies that lead the market. This is probably due to two issues:

Most of them already have very complete portfolios
They are focusing their investment strategies more on robotics and disruptive image technology than on new products.

The new launches have been made by challenging companies that seek to win market shares from the big ones and that are updating their portfolios according to market trends such as expandable, stand-alone, and 3D printed cages.

In 2022, there have been more than 22 product launches (those that have been officially published have been included).
