VB Spine has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire exclusive rights to the xvision Spine System (xvision) from Augmedics, adding augmented reality (AR) navigation to VB Spine’s growing enhanced visualization portfolio.

Augmedics is the first company to offer an FDA-cleared AR navigation platform in spine surgery, positioning VB Spine to become a world leader in AR-enabled spine solutions.

The xvision Spine System is designed to combine the benefits of navigation with the ease and utility of open surgery: visualization while looking directly at the patient, accuracy and precision, workflow efficiency, and radiation reduction. With nearly 13,000 patients treated with xvision, the transaction brings together two complementary portfolios focused on redefining spine care.

The transaction is subject to approval and customary closing conditions and is expected to close in the coming weeks.
