Global healthcare technology developer Medtronic has launched the CD Horizon ModuLeX spinal system for deformity procedures, adding to the company’s expanding lumbar fixation offerings.
It is amplified and enabled by the company’s smart ecosystem, AiBLE, which incorporates navigation, data and AI, imaging, robotic guidance, implants, and software to facilitate more predictable outcomes in spine surgeries.

CD Horizon employs a modular screw platform, enabling surgeons to choose the appropriate screw shanks and heads intra-operatively to suit the anatomy of each individual, stated the company.
The system’s “in-situ” screw assembly improves the visualisation of anatomy at the time of the procedure. The screws have also undergone extensive strength testing, ensuring a one-way connection between the screw shaft and head.
Medtronic vice-president and spine and biologics general manager Michael Carter said: “At Medtronic, we continue to iterate on proven and trusted technologies like the CD Horizon solution of pedicle screws.
“Building on the 40-year legacy of this system, we are excited to bring the ModuLeX spinal system for deformity to market, strengthening our dedication to a connected, predictable, and advanced OR [operating room] via our AiBLE ecosystem.”
Earlier this week, Medtronic announced a profit report for the third quarter of the fiscal year 2025.
In September 2024, the company announced the commercial launch of multiple software, hardware and imaging solutions aimed at progressing AiBLE.
These solutions are set to enhance the predictability of outcomes in both spine and cranial procedures.
The company’s focus on improving spinal care is further demonstrated by its partnership with Siemens Healthineers, which aims to expand imaging technologies access for pre-operative and post-operative spine care.
