Overview
- Cyber Surgery began commercial rollout of its Alaya system after certification by AEMPS and clearance from the EMA and FDA.
- Osakidetza will be among the first adopters, with one unit planned for Gipuzkoa and another for Bizkaia.
- Alaya targets transpedicular screw placement and uses a patented kinematic navigation approach that tracks vertebral micromovements via a bone-fixed clamp rather than optical cameras.
- A clinical trial involving 13 patients at Donostia and Cruces concluded two years ago, with broader validation figures of over 300 doctors across 25 hospitals reported by the company.
- Company leaders cite improved implant precision and a 10%–30% reduction in radiation exposure, as the Basque health service performs roughly 1,500–2,000 spine surgeries each year.
