The DSG Technology is based on the principle that the electrical conductivity of tissue varies by the type of tissue. Electrical conductivity is the property of a material to conduct an electrical current: Cortical bone has low conductivity Cancellous bone has medium conductivity Periosteum and blood have high conductivity This parameter, varying conductivity, allows for differentiation between various tissue types while drilling a pedicle prior to screw placement. How does the PediGuard probe work? The PediGuard is a smart drilling single use probe for the preparation of the pilot hole. The DSG technology is at the tip of each PediGuard. STRAIGHT PEDIGUARD Straight tip Available in 3 different diameters: Ø2.5 mm, Ø3.2 mm and Ø4.0 mm Assist surgeons in preparing the pedicle for screw placement at any level of the spine CURVED PEDIGUARD Curved tip 2 different diameters: Ø3.6 mm and Ø4.0 mm Ease penetration through the pedicle and removal thanks to the tapered tip Ease redirection during pedicle drilling: as surgeons become comfortable with the direction of the curve, they can be aware of the location of a possible breach, and hence allow proper redirection Mainly used in thoracic and lumbar, especially for deformity CANNULATED PEDIGUARD 2 types of tips (bevel and trocar) Needle available in 2 sizes (120mm and 160mm) – the longest PediGuard instrument/shaft Progressive diameter of the Needle to ease the insertion and removal Graduated shaft to control the progression into the bone Designed primarily for helping surgeons reduce radiation exposure during minimally-invasive procedures Can also be used to access and drill narrow and small pedicles
