GE Healthcare’s bkActiv intraoperative ultrasound system and Medtronic’s Stealth AXiS are now digitally integrated, according to an April 9 news release.
The bkActiv system offers real-time visualization and can be used with Stealth AXiS for cranial procedures. It features an image mirror feature, sensitive color Doppler and fully immersible transducers for easy sterilization and single-use needle guides.
“Real-time visualization is critical for cranial surgical teams to assess anatomy, navigate changes, and make critical decisions in the surgical suite,” Heidi Seerden, general manager of surgical innovations at GE Healthcare said in the release. “We are proud to build on our long-time collaboration with Medtronic to bring together bkActiv with the Stealth AXiS surgical navigation system in a way that supports our shared goals of supporting surgical precision and clinician confidence.”
