Auctus Surgical

Auctus Surgical is pioneering a non-fusion approach to pediatric scoliosis correction, focusing on technologies that allow for post-implant, non-surgical adjustments to accommodate a child's growth. The company leverages a founding team with deep experience in orthopedic implants and spinal devices, supported by a distinguished medical advisory board of leading pediatric orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons. Their primary technology appears to be an advancement on Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT), aiming to improve upon current fusion and non-fusion surgical options by offering greater control and fewer limitations for young patients.

A platform for non-fusion scoliosis correction, centered on an advanced Vertebral Body Tethering (VBT) system that allows for dynamic, non-surgical adjustment of the implant's tension over time to guide spinal growth in children.

Main competitors include large orthopedic firms (Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, Stryker) and specialized spine companies with VBT systems (Zimmer Biomet, Globus Medical). Auctus aims to differentiate through its core feature of enabling non-surgical, post-operative adjustments to the implant, a capability not present in currently marketed devices.
