The SIAP study investigates the effect of using Ergotrics' Inflatable Prone Support (IPS) on intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) during spine surgery. Study background The objective of this study is to demonstrate the ability of the inflatable Prone Supports (IPS) to lower the IAP of patients in the prone position. Whenever the patients’ position is changed to prone, the IAP is increased due to ...
There is no such thing as unimportant, or non-eloquent, brain. For decades, neuroscientists and clinicians have studied the brain attempting to pinpoint the regions that control specific functions. This is the age old question of ‘What part of the brain is responsible for ___?’ For clinicians, this assists in determining where the source of certain disorders may originate and ...

To confidently perform a spinal fusion and screw fixation with excellence surgical navigation is consistently used as a powerful tool. Surgical Navigation provides real-time guidance and precise measurements for accurately placing the pedicle screws to help stabilize the spine. A preoperative CT scan gives a detailed visualization of the structure decreasing the potential for implant-related ...
ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. today announced it has received CE mark clearance to the new EU MDR for its ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform. The CE mark makes it possible for healthcare providers to begin treating patients with the ZAP-X system in the European Union. For select indications including many primary and metastatic brain tumors, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is proven ...
Abstract Visualization of the optic radiations is of clinical importance for diagnosing many diseases and depicting their anatomic structures for neurosurgical interventions. In this study, we quantify proton density, T1, T2*, and susceptibility of the optic radiation fiber bundles in a series of 10 healthy control participants using strategically acquired gradient echo imaging. Furthermore, we ...
ABSTRACT Patients with brain tumors face enormous challenges after diagnosis. Many of these challenges are amplified by issues related to access to care.1‒4 Studies suggest that patients with cancer who live farther from radiation treatment centers have poorer clinical outcomes. In addition, minorities are more likely to perceive longer travel distances as a barrier, which may cause them ...
ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. today announced it has received Shonin approval from the Japanese Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) for its ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® platform. As part of the approval, ZAP-X is now cleared for clinical use in Japan. To facilitate a robust market introduction effort, ZAP also announced a partnership with MC Medical Inc. to lead Japanese ...
ZAP Surgical Systems, Inc. today announced ZAP-X® Gyroscopic Radiosurgery® patient treatments have commenced at MedStar Georgetown Cancer Institute at MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center in Clinton, MD.

ODS Medical will undertake within a few weeks the first official clinical trial which will allow it to test its surgical probe, a tool capable of discerning, in real time, cancerous tissue from healthy tissue in brain operated patients. But before arriving there, she chose to surround herself well. The company has just signed an agreement with an American medical equipment manufacturer whose ...
Summary: In treating brain cancers, neurosurgeons face a critical decision: remove too little tissue and risk fatal recurrences or remove too much and cause profound neurological damage. Presently, they rely on pre-operative surgical navigation technologies, such as MRI, in order to determine the contours of the cancerous tissue to be safely removed. These surgical navigation systems, in ...
