The aim of the project was to develop a Polish complementary system of molecular surgical navigation for the treatment of ...
The challenge An industry-leading medical device company required the capability to automatically generate an accurate 3D model of complex patient-specific anatomies The anatomical model was needed for planning challenging surgical navigation procedures The pre-existing solution was slow and not robust, requiring extensive and time-consuming manual editing ...
Optics and medical devices have a long history and partnership. Since the invention of the microscope in the late 1500s to mid-1600s, the interest and desire to “see” into the human body to diagnose illness and subsequently repair it has only intensified. Optics in modern medical devices fall into two categories: those used for diagnosis of illness, and those which are therapeutic or ...
Intellijoint Surgical is proud to announce a new, optional feature to the Intellijoint KNEE system. ...
Our Value-Based Robotics series advances towards the actual clinical use of robotics and issues concerning practicality and surgeon onboarding and training. It is generally accepted that robotic surgical systems enable minimally invasive surgery and improve outcomes, including shorter recovery times, less scarring, and reduced healthcare costs. This being said, the jury is still out on whether ...
Computer-aided surgery is used in a daily clinical workflow for safer surgical interventions. Navigation systems work based on a tracking model, which helps in the correlation of a patient’s coordinates to the preoperative or intraoperative digital medical imagery. ...
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. ...
The following case was performed at the Pacific Dental Convention’s Live Surgical Stage held March 8th, 2018 in Vancouver, BC. The patient is a healthy 58 year old male with no known allergies or medical contra-indications to dental treatment. Patient presented with a Class III malocclusion for which he received both orthodontic and oral surgery consultations; however, he was not ...
Advancements in technology such as CT Scans, Soft Tissue Scans, and Dynamic Surgical Navigation allow the surgeon to better serve the implant needs of his/her patients. The following is a case presentation on how I incorporate dynamic surgical guidance, using the Inliant Surgical Navigation System, in preparing ...
INTRODUCTION The replacement of a single central incisor may be one of the most demanding implant treatments clinicians face. Still, clinicians have been able to achieve aesthetic results in these challenging cases through excellent treatment planning and meticulous surgical placement. The following case study highlights how Dr. Zokol was able to integrate Inliant® into his treatment plan ...
Furthermore, static guides are typically designed over the surgical site, and so there is some impediment to the visualization of the surgical field. ...
MOTION study will quantify new technology’s impact on radiation exposure In December, Cleveland Clinic vascular surgeons successfully completed the first surgical case in the MOTION clinical trial of a new non-radiation-based surgical navigation platform for endovascular aortic interventions. ...
A surgical C-arm and an Optical Navigation system works together in synergy to facilitate a Spinal surgery platform. ...
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 conjunction with surgical microscopes, can generally identify the tumor bulk, but fail to identify the extent ...
