From September 25 to 28, the 39th Annual Meeting of the North American Spine Society (NASS) was held in Chicago. NASS is a global multidisciplinary medical organization dedicated to fostering the highest quality, ethical, value-based and evidence-based spine care through education, research and advocacy.
Implanet, SMTP and 8i Robotics are co-exhibiting at this year’s meeting to showcase their cutting-edge technologies.
Implanet, a medical technology company manufacturing high-quality orthopedic surgical implants and distributing medical technology devices, delivers innovative solutions for spinal disorder treatment. Its Jazz Spinal System incorporates the full set of Sanyou’s Zeus Spinal System documentation. Having obtained FDA 510(k) clearance, the system is currently available for sale in numerous hospitals across the United States. Implanet is showcasing its full lineup of spinal implant products this time.
As a leader in ultrasonic energy surgical instruments, SMTP specializes in the R&D, manufacturing, and sales of high-tech surgical devices, with all products protected by independent intellectual property rights. SMTP established its global presence in 2016 and launched Olea — the world’s first percutaneous endoscopic ultrasonic osteotome device — in 2017, which has obtained multiple FDA and CE certifications.
At this year’s meeting, SMTP is exhibiting its Olea® Ultrasonic Osteotome Surgical System. The Olea ultrasonic scalpel technology is designed to enable surgeons to operate with greater precision and safety. Its proprietary iSTPT technology enables efficient selective bone resection while minimizing damage to surrounding soft tissue and neural structures. In addition, Olea facilitates hemostasis at the osteotomy surface during surgery for less intraoperative hemorrhage and operates with extremely low noise, a marked contrast to traditional surgical instruments. Its built-in irrigation system is essential for maintaining optimal performance during surgery. Lightweight and versatile, it is suitable for a wide range of applications beyond spine surgery, including orthopedic surgery, joint surgery, and even neurosurgery. With tips available in various shapes and lengths, Olea adapts to diverse needs in the operating room.
8i Robotics is redefining the future of spine and orthopedic surgery by combining advanced multi-arm anthropomorphic robot technology with cutting-edge innovations including lightweight medical-grade robots, electromagnetic navigation, and optical imaging. Optimus, its flagship product, represents the seamless integration of state-of-the-art robotics and surgical excellence. Built on a modular platform, Optimus enables medical professionals to tailor solutions to specific surgical needs. Optimus has already demonstrated significant potential in preclinical trials for improving surgical safety and effectiveness, though regulatory approval remains pending. 8i Robotics is showcasing its pioneering multi-arm surgical robot technology at its innovation-themed booth.
Implanet, 8i Robotics and SMTP are jointly exhibiting at Booth #2412 at NASS in Chicago. All orthopedic specialists are welcome to stop by our booth for discussions.
