Spine surgery is growing from hospitals to Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs). Patients want faster recovery, payers want lower costs, and surgeons want efficeincies. The question is: which company is built for outpatient spine surgery? THE DIFFERENCE Spine companies fall into two categories, large companies focused on hospital-based fusion procedures or small companies built around a single product with limited support. Neither was designed for the ASC environment. KIC Ventures’ NANISX was. OUR STORY In 2009 we performed our first cervical spine fusion in an Ambulatory Surgery Center. We published our outcomes and by 2011 transitioned to outpatient spine surgery. This shift was guided by our proprietary LESS™ philosophy, Less Exposure Spine Surgery, delivering LESS risk, LESS blood loss, LESS operative time, and LESS cost while preserving anatomy and restoring function. Over 1,000 spine surgeons and interventional pain management specialists have been trained and our technologies used in nearly 300,000 procedures. BUILT FOR ASC Our LESS™ philosophy is guided by REP™ — Restore Function, Early Diagnosis & Treatment, and Preserve Anatomy & Motion. Our technologies are designed for outpatient surgery, our pricing aligns with the economics of the ASC, and our team provides hands-on training for physicians and staff at our Florida headquarters. We also collaborate with surgeons and ASC partners to publish outcomes in peer-reviewed research and offer opportunities for physicians to participate in developing next-generation technologies. ​A TRUE PARTNER The gap between companies built for hospitals and those built for ASCs will only grow. Our platform was designed for the ASC environment from the beginning. So the question for your ASC becomes simple: As outpatient spine surgery expands, who do you want helping build your program? A partner built for the ASC environment—one with the technology, training, research, and experience to support outpatient spine surgery from the start. ¹Eligibility of Outpatient Spine Surgery Candidates in a Single Private Practice.
