CARLSBAD, Calif., Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carlsmed, Inc. (Nasdaq: CARL) (“Carlsmed” or the “Company”), today announced the successful completion of the first posterior lumbar spine surgery using the Company’s aprevo^® Lumbar Bi-lateral Posterior System. The procedure was performed by Orthopedic Spine Surgeon CJ Kleck, M.D. at the University of Colorado Hospital in Denver, Colorado.

“This clinical milestone strengthens our position as a leader in personalized, data-driven spine solutions designed to help surgeons plan with greater precision, improve patient outcomes, and reduce costly revisions. The addition of the aprevo^® Bi-lateral Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion procedure to our personalized surgery procedure portfolio further demonstrates the power and versatility of our personalized, AI-enabled approach to spine surgery,” said Mike Cordonnier, Chairman and CEO of Carlsmed. “We look forward to our full commercial launch this year to provide this personalized procedural option to patients, surgeons, and hospital systems on a larger scale.”

“Carlsmed’s aprevo^® technology is integral to my pre-operative, intra-operative, and post-operative workflow, and extending its use across additional lumbar fusion approaches allows me to more precisely tailor treatment to each patient,” said Dr. Kleck. “Being able to personalize procedures based on each patient’s anatomy and pathology gives me greater confidence in achieving alignment goals. Adding a Bi-lateral posterior system to the list of procedures addressable with aprevo^® will enable me to utilize this technology across a broader range of patients.”

Carlsmed’s Bi-lateral Posterior Fusion System integrates seamlessly with the Company’s broader aprevo^® platform technology, which combines proprietary AI-enabled software and clinical intelligence to deliver personalized surgical strategies and preoperative planning across a range of spinal pathologies. The Company expects to commercially launch the system later this year.
