Ion-C Navigation Instruments

The ION-C Navigation Instruments are intended to be used with the ION-C System Facet Implants during spinal surgery to assist the surgeon in precisely locating anatomical structures, specifically the cervical facet joint, in either open or minimally invasive procedures. These instruments are specifically designed for use with the Medtronic StealthStation System S8, which is indicated for any medical condition in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the pelvis or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MRI based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy. Fluoroscopy must be used to confirm final implant placement.

The Ion-C Navigation Instruments include locators, a drill, and an inserter. Each Instrument is intended to be used with the Medtronic NavLock Array. The Ion-C Navigation Instruments are provided sterile or non-sterile and are used during the surgical procedure to implant Ion-C System Facet Implants.
