DePuy Synthes Products Inc. announced it has acquired Innovative Surgical Solutions LLC, doing business as Sentio LLC. Sentio markets nerve localization technology for spine surgery.
According to a company press release, financial terms of the acquisition have not been disclosed. Sentio’s platform offers real-time feedback to surgeons about nerve location with use of adhesive “smart” sensors applied to a patient’s skin. The system reportedly has a minimal footprint in the OR, can be set up by OR personnel and does not require a neuromonitoring specialist.
“With Sentio’s nerve localization technology, DePuy Synthes will strengthen its spine portfolio in decompression procedures, as well as lateral surgery, and build a platform for future innovation in minimally invasive surgery,” Ciro Römer, company group chairman of DePuy Synthes, said in the release. “The surgeon-driven approach will also help us reach more customers operating in an ambulatory surgery setting. This acquisition underscores our commitment to investing in differentiated technologies that help us reach more customers and patients around the world.”
