The company has entered a definitive agreement to acquire exclusive rights to Augmedics’ CT-to-fluoroscopy (CT-Fluoro) technology for Spine Applications
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–VB Spine LLC (“VB Spine”) today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the exclusive rights to Augmedics’ CT-to-fluoroscopy (CT-Fluoro) technology for spine applications.
This acquisition reflects VB Spine’s ongoing investment in innovative technologies, building on the acquisition of exclusive rights to the Augmedics’ xvision Spine System® platform in April. With CT-Fluoro technology, surgeons are able to register a patient’s preoperative CT scan using standard fluoroscopic imaging, potentially eliminating the need for intraoperative CT or 3D imaging systems during spine procedures. By expanding workflow flexibility and reducing imaging requirements, CT-Fluoro technology helps make augmented reality navigation more accessible across a broader range of facilities and surgical settings.
“At VB Spine, our goal is to remove barriers that prevent surgeons from accessing technologies that improve procedural efficiency and patient care,” said Marc Viscogliosi, co-CEO of VB Spine, speaking on behalf of his brothers and fellow co-CEOs Anthony and John Viscogliosi. “The addition of CT-Fluoro technology for spine applications will be an important step forward for the xvision platform because it provides surgeons with greater flexibility in how they utilize navigation.”
The addition of CT-Fluoro technology further strengthens the xvision ecosystem and underscores VB Spine’s long-term commitment to investing in enabling technologies that simplify adoption, expand access, and keep patient outcomes at the center of innovation.
Following the closing of the transaction, VB Spine intends to make CT-Fluoro technology available as part of its technology offerings for spine procedures. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory requirements. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
