Designed by Medtronic for spine and neurosurgery cases, the system provides real-time intraoperative data to help surgeons accurately navigate surgical instruments.
“It’s like a GPS that allows us to get directly down to tumors and abnormalities in the brain that we [want to] take out, allowing us to avoid the important parts of the brain that we don’t want to damage,” Bradley Hiser, MD, told KFDA.
StealthStation S8 includes improved patient registration, HD touch-screen monitors and upgraded imaging capabilities to streamline surgical workflow.
The system integrates with more than 200 Stealth instruments and implants and can be used with Medtronic’s O-arm imaging system.
