SpineAssist The Product


The SpineAssist system enables surgeons to accurately place implants with reduced radiation exposure during surgery.

The system consists of a miniature device that mounts above the patient’s spine, and a workstation running advanced surgical planning software.

Advanced Software

SpineAssist’s software allows surgeons to perform 3D, CT- based preoperative planning on a personal computer at their own convenience prior to surgery.

Using a virtual catalogue of surgical implants, surgeons can view and position implants within each vertebra or disc on three planes: AP, lateral and axial. A special feature in the software is used to review the planning slice by slice in sequence.

The software supports a range of measurements including Cobb angle, lordosis and kyphosis. The surgeon can view a simulation of the correction they are planning, which is especially useful in deformity and scoliosis cases. The software also calculates rod length and curvature.

Workstation

The SpineAssist workstation connects to a fluoroscopic C-Arm and performs automatic CT-to-fluoroscopy image registration based upon 2 fluoroscopic images. The workstation is used to control the precise motion of the miniature device to the preplanned position.

Miniature Device & Platforms

The SpineAssist uses miniature robotic technology and is the size and shape of a soda can.

The miniature device is secured on a platform: The Hover-T™ for minimally invasive single or multi-level procedures or a clamp and bridge for open procedures.
