Globus Medical’s introduction of DuraPro™ with navigation marks a significant leap in surgical instrumentation, bringing oscillating technology to the forefront of high-precision musculoskeletal procedures. Unlike traditional high-speed spinning drills, DuraPro™ employs a next-generation oscillating system designed to minimize soft tissue wrapping—an innovation crucial for procedures performed in close proximity to delicate anatomical structures. Its integration with the ExcelsiusGPS™ and ExcelsiusHub™ navigation platforms further enhances accuracy by offering real-time visualization of tool trajectories, reinforcing surgical confidence and procedural control.
The core purpose of DuraPro™ is to advance the safety, precision, and efficiency of bone-cutting and decompression procedures, particularly in spinal and cranial applications. Key benefits include anti-skiving technology for stable pilot hole drilling, brush attachments that support comprehensive discectomies, and a tactile experience similar to conventional drills while drastically reducing risk. These attributes are especially important in complex surgical environments, where maintaining precise tool paths can significantly reduce complications and improve patient outcomes. For surgeons, DuraPro™ simplifies workflows while enhancing control, making it a valuable addition to the surgical toolkit.
As demand for minimally invasive and precision-guided procedures grows, DuraPro™ is well-positioned to transform the $550 million high-speed drill market. With future iterations expected to support even broader use cases, and as part of Globus Medical’s expanding Power Portfolio—including the newly launched Verzera™ navigated high-speed drill—DuraPro™ represents a forward-thinking solution for the next era of image-guided surgery. Its design not only aligns with modern surgical needs but also sets a new benchmark in the development of intelligent, adaptable instrumentation for safer and more effective patient care.
