You likely know someone close to you, a friend, a family member, who has back problems, or you might even be suffering from one yourself. Many of these issues eventually lead to surgery, some of the most complex and critical procedures to perform.
One, in particular, is spinal fusion surgery, where 20% of adult patients will require reoperation within two years due to improper screw placement. And the blame doesn’t lie with the medical staff but with the lack of adequate tools for the procedure.
At Digital Anatomics, we take this problem very seriously, which is why we have developed a solution TODAY that ensures patients have a better quality of life TOMORROW.

If we combine artificial intelligence, surgical planning, and 3D printing, the result can only be a revolution in spinal surgery.
In 2020, we began our journey with the sole purpose of helping patients achieve a better quality of life after spinal surgery, and to do so, we needed to assist healthcare professionals in performing their work with the highest accuracy possible, providing personalized solutions to increase the success rate in screw placement.
At Digital Anatomics, we envision a future where reinterventions due to screw misplacement are a thing of the past, and complex surgeries become simple and accessible to the majority. That’s why we firmly believe that every person deserves the best care, and every surgeon deserves the best tools to achieve it.
For these reasons and more, we invite you to join our innovative mission with your investment, which is already transforming the future of spinal surgery. Together, we can expand and bring this change to more people around the world.
The progress of society, with increased life expectancy and the adoption of less healthy habits linked to the overuse of technology, has led to a notable rise in spinal pathologies.
These conditions, far from diminishing in the future, require highly complex and precise surgeries. And if a solution is not provided today, it becomes a more difficult challenge to address tomorrow.
For surgeons, the main difficulty lies in accurately determining the exact drilling direction for pedicle screw placement. Currently, with traditional techniques for spinal fusion surgeries, the error rate in screw placement can be as high as 40%.
This means that most patients will require reintervention within less than two years. And the most concerning aspect is that these second surgeries are only performed to correct the mistakes of the first, resulting in additional costs.
One of the main advantages, and what distinguishes us from the competition, is the speed of guide delivery. Thanks to our innovative production system, we can guarantee lead delivery times of 72 hours, compared to the 15 days it usually takes our competitors.
There are many more advantages, but the true value of TOR JIG lies in its ability to solve the main problem: complexity and lack of precision.
This is achieved through key features such as:
1. Increased safety: Surgeons are freed from the concern of knowing where to drill, allowing them to operate with greater confidence, ease, and precision.
2. Greater efficiency: With enhanced safety, screws can be placed more efficiently, reducing the intervention time.
3. Increased speed: Thanks to improved efficiency, intervention times are shortened, which results in less fatigue for the medical staff and fewer errors.
Additionally:
4. 90% reduction in radiation exposure for both the patient and medical staff, as real-time X-ray images are no longer required.
5. Low cost, rapid adoption, and no need for large investments from the medical center.
Since 2020, we have collaborated with various renowned hospitals and surgeons to achieve clinical validation, performing over 300 surgeries with this method and attaining a 98.9% success rate in the placement of more than 3,000 screws.
By 2050, an estimated 27.5 million older people in the US will have spinal deformities. These patients often require spinal fusion surgeries, which can be complicated by improper placement of pedicle screws in up to 40% of cases, with 20% of patients requiring re-interventions.
Digital Anatomics has developed innovative technology that creates custom 3D printed surgical guides using artificial intelligence, cloud-based planning and automated design software. This solution improves accuracy, reduces radiation exposure by 90% and streamlines surgical processes by 67%.
With two patents pending and clinical validation in Spain, its technology has been used in more than 200 surgeries with a 99% success rate in screw placement. Its solid business model and rapid adoption in Spain, together with distribution agreements under negotiation for the US market, point to significant growth. They expect to obtain CE mark and FDA approval this year, preparing them to lead the spinal device market.
The main risks for Digital Anatomics include scalability, managing production ramp-up and obtaining necessary medical certifications such as CE marking and FDA approval, which could limit its global expansion.
In addition, although validated in Spain, acceptance in other markets may be slow or face resistance. Competition is also a risk, with other solutions in development that could reach the market earlier or be more effective, reducing Digital Anatomics' market share.
