ZimVie Inc., a global life sciences leader in the dental and spine markets, announced the recent launch of the Virage Navigation System, an Occipital-Cervico-Thoracic (OCT) spinal fixation system featuring the innovative 360° Omnidirectional Extreme-Angle Screw. The Virage Navigation System simplifies rod alignment and minimizes operating time, with screws allowing for 112° of conical range of motion and facilitating optimal screw placement.

The enhancement of the Virage system makes it compatible with commercially available navigation systems and allows the navigation of bone preparation instruments and polyaxial screws in the spine. Virage Navigation complements the previously released Vital™ Navigation System for the thoracolumbar spine, advancing ZimVie’s overall navigation compatibility offering and demonstrating the company’s commitment to continuous innovation within its core spine portfolio.

“The Virage Navigation System plays a crucial role in ZimVie’s enabling technology strategy, rounding out our ability to navigate pedicle screws in the entire spine,” said Rebecca Whitney, SVP, Global Spine President. “Virage also allows us to compete with existing navigation-compatible systems.”

The Virage Navigation System provides information to guide surgical planning by creating a three-dimensional map between points on the patient and corresponding points on the patient’s images, tracking the position of the patient and surgical instruments in real-time using an array, and displaying the real-time position and trajectory of tracked instruments relative to the patient’s anatomy. Surgeons use this information to plan and realize the point of entry, trajectory, and final position of instruments to obtain the best placement of spinal implants to address the patient’s condition. This is especially helpful in minimally invasive surgery (MIS) procedures where, due to smaller incisions, normal visibility may be reduced.
