Surgify Halo™ versus Rosen burr for cutting performance and usability in spine surgery

An Open, Parallel-group, Randomized, Medical Device Study to Assess the Usability and Performance of Surgify HaloTM in Spine Surgery Versus State-of-art (Rosen Burr)

NA · Surgify Medical Oy · NCT06827795

This will test whether the Surgify Halo™ device cuts bone with less chattering and better usability than a standard Rosen burr for adults having spine surgery.

What this trial studies

This is a randomized, open-label, parallel-group comparison enrolling about 30 adult patients undergoing spine surgery that requires bone removal. Participants will be randomly assigned to have bone work performed with the Surgify Halo™ device or with the conventional Rosen burr, and surgeons will record usability and performance metrics during the procedures. Key outcomes include amount of chattering during use, cutting performance, and surgeon-rated usability, with safety monitoring for device-related issues. The device is intended for shaping and removal of hard tissue and bone and will be used in a single-center surgical setting at North Shore University Hospital.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Adults aged 21–85 with spine disease requiring surgery with bone removal who can give informed consent are suitable candidates.

Not a fit: Patients with abnormal bone tissue, known allergy to medical-grade stainless steel or alloy components, bleeding or clotting problems, pregnant women, or other excluded vulnerable populations are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the Surgify Halo™ could reduce tool chattering and improve cutting precision and surgeon handling, potentially making certain spine procedures quicker or safer.

How similar studies have performed: Other novel bone-cutting and burr designs have shown mixed results in improving cutting efficiency and surgeon experience, and this specific device has limited comparative published data.
