Drill Guide; Drill Bit; Spine & Trauma Navigation

Spine & Trauma Navigation is intended as an intraoperative image-guided localization system to enable open and minimally invasive surgery. It links a freehand probe, tracked by a passive marker sensor system to virtual computer image space on a patient's preoperative or intraoperative 2D or 3D image data. Spine & Trauma Navigation enables computer-assisted navigation of medical image data, which can either be acquired preoperatively or intraoperatively by an appropriate image acquisition system. The software offers screw and interbody device planning and navigation with surgical instruments. The system is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate and where a reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, the pelvis, a long bone or vertebra can be identified relative to the acquired image (CT, MR, 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction or 2D fluoroscopic image) and/or an image databased model of the anatomy.

The Spine & Trauma Navigation is an image guided surgery system for navigated treatments in the fields of spine and trauma surgery, whereas the user may use image data based on CT, MR, 3D fluoroscopic image reconstruction (cone beam CT) or 2D fluoroscopic images. It offers different patient image registration methods and instrument calibrations to allow surgical navigation by using optical tracking technology. To fulfil this purpose, it consists of software, Image Guided Surgery platforms and surgical instruments. Modified Drill Guides and Drill Bits have been introduced as part of the Subject Device. The Drill Guide instruments are navigated instruments which support the surgeon in guiding drill bits and K-wires during spinal procedures. They consist of a guide tube, a trocar insert (both available in five different diameters), a body with two available handles, an array and a depth control (available in two different sizes for various drilling depths). The Drill Guide Tubes and Drill Guide Trocar Inserts have patient contact. All instruments are delivered unsterile and require end user.
