NCT ID NCT06827795
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares a new surgical drill, Surgify Halo, to a standard drill (Rosen burr) used in spine surgery. Researchers want to see if the new drill causes less 'chattering' and cuts bone better. The study will enroll 30 adults who need spine surgery with bone removal.

- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a better surgical tool that reduces chattering and improves bone cutting during spine surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage device study with only 30 participants. It focuses on tool performance, not patient health outcomes, so benefits for patients are uncertain.
