GROUNDBREAKING CEREMONY OF OUR NEW FACTORY!
We are building a new factory and broke ground on October 26th, 2023.
Built on a 7,000 sqm (70,000 sqft) greenfield development lot, the new Spineart factory is our third production site and our largest so far with more than 4,200 sqm (42,000 sqft) and will eventually regroup all our manufacturing and logistics activities. It will be equipped with state-of-the-art additive manufacturing, CNC machines and a new clean room. This new site will support Spineart continued double-digit growth through a significant manufacturing footprint expansion and the integration of the latest manufacturing innovations as well as sustainability standards.
The new factory is located close to our global headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, in a region renowned for being a center of excellence for precision manufacturing.
The official opening of the new Spineart factory is scheduled early 2025.
SPINEART HAS REACHED AND SURPASSED THE €100M OF REVENUE.
For the first time in its history, Spineart has reached and surpassed €100m of trailing 12-month revenue.
As the success and expansion of the Ti-LIFE ranges continues, we are rolling out the posterior fixation PERLA® platform and actively invest and develop multiple enabling technologies for spine surgeries, as exemplified by its co-development agreement with eCential robotics.
We are steadily gaining market share in Europe where the MDR certification of our full portfolio is well ahead of our peers and in the US through the addition of state-of-the-art systems to our portfolio. Our 2 US IDE trials for the BAGUERA® C cervical disc prothesis are enrolling at full speed and we are aiming for enrollment completion in the coming months. Meanwhile the 10-year safety and efficacy data for BAGUERA® C collected from Europe have been published in the prestigious European Spine Journal.
Spineart is committed to transform spine surgery for patients, surgeons and hospitals as we aim to create safe solutions and ultimately advance healthcare worldwide.
FIRST WOMEN SPINE NETWORK!
For the first time in its history, Spineart has organized an exclusive event for women in the Spine industry in Luzern, Switzerland last week.

Considering the quality of the exchanges between the 22 participants who addressed scientific subjects but also discussed how to strengthen the science ecosystem together, we are delighted to share that the mission was accomplished!
We would like to thank all our special guests Susanne Siegenthaler, Military pilot in the Swiss Air Force, Dr. Med. Nermine Habib, Founder and President of Swiss Female Orthopaedics, Dr. Adéla Wyncoll, Co-Founder and managing partner of Women’s Leadership Academy and Dr. Med.

A special thanks also goes to our speakers Dr. Caroline Hirsch, Dr. Sara Burguet, Dr. Lima Sprenger, Dr. Sonja Häckel and Dr. Raluca Reitmeier and to all the participants.
We are absolutely certain that this event will be the first of a long list and we can’t wait for the next editions!
BAGUERA® C 10-YEAR CLINICAL FOLLOW-UP STUDY IN THE EUROPEAN SPINE JOURNAL.
After the 5-Year clinical results published in 2018, we are proud to announce that the European Spine Journal has just published the 10-Year results.
81 patients continued their follow up to 10-years and the results confirm the long-term performance and safety of the device. In a nutshell, at 10 years the range of motion is preserved in 86.6% of the patients, the upper adjacentdisc height is preserved with no degeneration, compared with the pre-operative height. There are no long-term device or surgery related complications and no progressive osteolysis is observed.
We look forward to seeing the 15-Year results!
