What We Do
ATEC Spine is a medical device company dedicated to revolutionizing the approach to spine surgery through innovation. ATEC’s Organic Innovation Machine™ is the greatest concentration of spine know-how in the industry and committed to the creation of clinical distinction. Leveraging 100% spine focus and expertise, we seek to improve spine surgery by rethinking, redesigning and seamlessly integrating the technologies required from the ground up. The innovation that results from that process is being rapidly adopted because, like us, spine surgeons covet informatic and procedural sophistication that enables more predictable, more reproducible care. Our flagship technology, the Prone TransPsoas (PTP™) Procedure, leveraged decades of experience to advance first-generation lateral surgery with a more familiar patient position and elevated neuromonitoring. EOS imaging, the backbone of ATEC’s informatic ecosystem, provides radiographic imaging, enabling standing, full-body, global alignment assessments. We are further developing EOS technology to elevate spine care with unprecedented capabilities. Our vision is to be the standard bearer in spine.
