“We are very excited about the strategic fit of this acquisition, which will allow us to further enhance the capability of our ExcelsiusGPS navigation and robotic system to assist surgeons in planning complex spine procedures and placing screws more accurately and less invasively.” Software-enhanced solutions are critical components of the future of computer-assisted surgery, and Surgimap is the leading surgical planning software technology in the spine market today. Globus Medical CEO Dave Demski said “The acquisition of Surgimap bolsters Globus Medical’s efforts to advance the future of computer-assisted surgery with the goal of improving patient outcomes.

By integrating Surgimap’s team into Globus Medical, the company expects to develop new products in imaging, navigation, and robotics. The musculoskeletal solutions company believes that the addition of Surgimap will strengthen its ExcelsiusGPS platform by streamlining workflow and enabling data analytics.

Globus Medical stated that Surgimap’s patient specific surgical planning and cloud-based infrastructure with predictive algorithms and visual guides has been licensed to several spine implant manufacturers and is claimed to be supporting in planning and simulation of potential surgical outcomes in the course of treating complex deformities. Surgimap supports healthcare professionals in simulating surgical outcomes and to share medical imaging for improved workflow and patient care. Globus Medical, a musculoskeletal solutions company, has acquired Nemaris, a privately held company that develops and markets surgical planning software platform known as Surgmap.
