AUDUBON, Pa., Oct. 14, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Globus Medical, Inc. (NYSE: GMED), a leading musculoskeletal technology company, today announced it will highlight its latest spine innovations at the 41st Annual North American Spine Society (NASS) Meeting in San Antonio, Texas, from October 14-17.

Globus Medical is continuing to expand its integrated spine ecosystem with technologies designed to connect patient-specific planning, implant solutions, and surgical execution across a range of spinal procedures. At NASS, the company will showcase SCRIPT™, its new patient-specific spinal implant platform, alongside the new XLIF™ Prone Procedural Solution featuring the XLIF™ Prone Patient Positioner and the MaXcess™ Air two-blade prone lateral retractor.

“We believe innovation is most meaningful when it connects technologies across the surgical workflow to support patient-specific planning and coordinated execution. Our focus is on developing an integrated ecosystem that helps surgeons translate their surgical plan in the operating room while supporting the clinical needs of each individual patient,” said Keith Pfeil, President and CEO.

SCRIPT™ marks Globus Medical’s expansion into patient-specific spine solutions. Within SCRIPT™ Studio, surgeons maintain control of preoperative planning and implant design, creating them while considering alignment, implant position, implant geometry, and fixation strategy. Plans generated from SCRIPT™ Studio can be imported into ExcelsiusGPS™ or ExcelsiusHub™ to integrate the preoperative plan with a navigated surgical workflow. SCRIPT™ will be featured in an exclusive preview at the Globus Medical technology suite, offering attendees an early look at this FDA-cleared technology as the company moves toward commercialization.

Globus Medical will also introduce the XLIF™ Prone Patient Positioner and MaXcess™ Air two-blade retractor as part of its XLIF™ Prone Procedural Solution. Bringing together patient positioning, lateral access, and enabling technologies, the solution is designed to support a connected workflow for prone lateral procedures. These new solutions combine adaptable patient positioning with stable, controlled lateral access to establish a reproducible workflow for prone lateral procedures. The XLIF™ Prone Patient Positioner allows adjustments in both the sagittal and coronal planes, while the MaXcess™ Air retractor provides a lightweight, rigid platform designed to support soft tissue management and stable access to the disc space.

Together, these technologies reflect Globus Medical’s continued investment in an integrated spine technology portfolio, connecting solutions across preoperative planning, patient-specific implants, procedural positioning, access, and surgical execution.

This is a fascinating development. In my practice we've seen similar outcomes with the revised protocol. The key differentiator seems to be patient selection criteria. Has anyone else noticed the correlation with BMI thresholds?

Great point. I'd push back slightly on the conclusion, the sample size in the cited study is too small to draw population-level inferences. That said, the directional signal is compelling and worth a larger RCT.

We implemented a similar approach last year. Early results are promising but we're still gathering 12-month follow-up data. Happy to share our protocol if anyone is interested.
