Highridge Medical Inks Distro Deal for PathKeeper Surgical Navigation System

Highridge Medical has entered an exclusive distribution agreement for the PathKeeper surgical navigation system in the U.S.

The deal bolsters Highridge’s enabling technology with a real-time, optical navigation platform designed to improve accuracy and efficiency in spinal procedures. PathKeeper is the latest of several recent portfolio additions that double its R&D investment through both organic development and technology acquisitions.

“We are building an enabling technology platform with solutions designed to improve surgical accuracy and streamline procedural workflows,” said Rebecca Whitney, CEO of Highridge Medical. “Through our agreement with PathKeeper, we are providing our surgeons access to next-generation, radiation-free navigation designed to make spine surgery safer and more precise while enabling positive outcomes with greater confidence.”

The PathKeeper surgical navigation system uses 3D optical tracking and artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced imaging to provide more precision during complex spinal surgeries. The system is designed to integrate easily into operating rooms, reduce procedure times, and support better outcomes.

It also doesn’t need additional intraoperative imaging, helping minimize radiation exposure for patients and surgical teams.

“We are thrilled to partner with Highridge to expand the reach of our innovative technology. PathKeeper’s proprietary camera and AI-driven software are designed to deliver sub-millimeter accuracy for registration and tool tracking, while eliminating intraoperative radiation,” said Erez Lampert, CEO of PathKeeper Surgical. “This collaboration is a perfect synergy, as Highridge Medical’s comprehensive portfolio, particularly in the pediatric space, provides a powerful platform to bring our cutting-edge system to a patient population that can uniquely benefit from a radiation-free solution. Together, we are poised to drive forward the future of safe and effective spine surgery.”
