Carlsmed has completed its first cervical spine procedure using the AI-powered Aprevo system. The personalized implant was used by Dr. Joseph Osorio at UC San Diego Health, marking a major milestone as the company expands beyond lumbar fusion procedures.
The Aprevo platform uses AI-driven planning and 3D printing to tailor implants to each patient’s anatomy and alignment needs. Already FDA-cleared for lumbar fusion, Aprevo devices have also received breakthrough designation for both lumbar and cervical applications.
Dr. Osorio, who has prior experience with the lumbar version, said the technology enables spinal alignment not possible with traditional implants. Carlsmed expects to launch the cervical solution in the U.S. in 2026.
The procedure comes shortly after Carlsmed’s IPO, as the company aims to reshape spine surgery with precision implants designed to reduce revision rates and improve long-term outcomes.
