Pedro System: Final Tests Successfully Completed
As mentioned in our previous article, the Pedro System has successfully passed the mechanical tests conducted by the Polytechnic Institute. One final and crucial step remained before its clinical application: ex-vivo testing.
Ideally, we would have tested the different “sizes” of the system on multiple specimens simultaneously. However, it's not always possible to conduct such tests under identical conditions. We therefore carried out the trials at different times for each size of the spinal system.
These tests, in addition to validating the device's performance already confirmed in previous trials, were essential to assess the effectiveness of the dedicated surgical instruments and to refine the surgical procedure. Only during this phase is it truly possible to evaluate whether the tools and the proposed approach are optimal to ensure not only the success of the procedure, but also ease of use for the surgeons.
After completing the full round of testing on the spinal system, and thanks to close collaboration with several physicians, we were able to make final adjustments to the instrumentation to further optimize its performance.
The result? A high-quality system designed to be simple, reliable, and intuitive in the operating room.
