Designed by 7D Surgical, Flash uses visible light to create a 3D image for spine surgical navigation, eliminating patient and staff exposure to intraoperative radiation, according to the company.
The technology was approved for neurologic surgery in 2016 but since has expanded to spine surgery.
The Flash system costs $500,000, compared to other navigation systems on the market that run up to $1.2 million, according to 7D Surgical.
7D Surgical is expected to be acquired by SeaSpine this quarter.
