Designed to assist surgeons precisely when and where support is needed, Cirq® is a lightweight, flexible and modular robotic surgical system. Cirq can save surgeons time by seamlessly integrating into unique workflows. As an automated surgical assistant, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module can also reliably align to patient-specific trajectories and be manually adjusted by surgeons.

Extending human capabilities with a robotic platform

Cirq enables modular robotic solutions, which provide accuracy and support the surgeon in many applications. Each solution consists of the base module Cirq Arm System and an indication specific application module. Through this modular approach, the same base module addresses different use cases like stationary instrument holding, complex spine surgery, precise stereotactic surgery1 and cranial biopsies.

Surgical robotic support in multiple indications

Cirq
for spine surgery

Accuracy and precision take the lead during spinal surgeries with Cirq. During procedures, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module facilitates accurate screw placement by automatically aligning to pre- or intraoperatively planned patient-specific trajectories. As an automated surgical assistant, Cirq also easily integrates into different image guided workflows while enabling the surgeon to stay in control.

Cirq for cranial biopsies

When it comes to cranial biopsies, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module automatically aligns to patient-specific trajectories to guide tracked biopsy instruments. With these navigation-ready instruments, Cirq seamlessly integrates into Brainlab planning and cranial navigation solutions as well as new and existing workflows.
