Stay in control with automatic assistance during surgery. Cirq® is a lightweight, versatile and modular robotic surgical system designed to assist surgeons precisely when and where support is needed. During spinal procedures, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module facilitates accurate screw placement by automatically aligning to pre- or intraoperatively planned trajectories.
Spinal surgeons can seamlessly slip Cirq into minimally invasive and open workflows and benefit from its easy integration with Brainlab planning, imaging and navigation solutions as well as its vendor-neutral compatibility with multiple implants sets.
Accuracy and precision take the lead during spinal surgeries with Cirq. Surgeons can rely on the robotic alignment of the instruments without losing the familiar haptic feedback. In this way they can keep control of the workflow react to the spine’s flexibility.

Strive for high-level precision
Precision with Cirq begins with dedicated guidance software for rough alignment to the pre-planned trajectory. Then, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module steps in to make fine adjustments to enable greater precision than with freehand placement alone.
Product features
Designed with image guided spine surgery in mind
Modern spine surgeries are often conducted in one of two ways:
- With the use of fluoroscopy which results in increased radiation exposure for the surgeons and only produces 2D images
- With a navigation system in which only one 3D image is taken. If the patient moves, the system will display outdated information, which could lead to potential screw misplacement.
In comparison, the Cirq workflow is designed to keep the characteristics of image guided spine surgery in mind and consider the flexibility of the spine. By having Cirq to accurately guide and hold the instruments, the surgeon can focus on the implant placement in real time.
Automatic assistance anytime, anywhere
Cirq fits into almost any operating room allowing surgeons to leverage the advantages of robotics for all kinds of procedures, standard to complex. The system attaches easily to most O.R. tables and accommodates multiple imaging devices.

Interchange modules for more flexibility
The future of robotic surgery is modular. With its interchangeable modules, Cirq is a highly adaptable and versatile robotic surgical system.
Cirq Robotic Alignment Module
Application specific, interchangeable module that enables precise robotic alignment to preplanned trajectories.
Kinematic Unit
Precisely translates motor movement of Cirq Robotic Alignment Module with zero mechanical backlash.
Tracking Array
Real-time tracking of instruments for constant position feedback. Enables quick release of placed K-wires.
Drill Guide
Built with sharp teeth that dock on the cortical bone. Use different diameters for unique patient anatomies. Depth tracking array allows accuracy verification for every trajectory.
Depth Control
Insertable depth control mechanically stops drill bit in the vertebral body.
Product Features
Full integration, full flexibility
Experience the benefits of full integration by using Brainlab advanced planning features, high resolution imaging and a pressure-less navigated workflow together as one. The Alignment Software Spine acts as a robotic plugin to the navigation software to seamlessly integrate into the workflow.
Cirq also offers vendor-neutral compatibility with multiple implant sets and a workflow that is suitable for the complete spine in open or minimal invasive procedures.
Standardize and stabilize
By automatically aligning to pre- or intraoperatively planned trajectories, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module helps standardize surgical outcomes.
In addition, it provides stability and prevents skiving as the drill guide secures the entry point by anchoring on the bone. High-speed sharp drills in combination with deviation monitoring provided by the Alignment Software Spine also notify the user in case of deviation.
