Stay in control with automatic assistance during surgery. Cirq® is a lightweight, versatile and modular robotic surgical platform designed to assist surgeons precisely when and where support is needed. During spine procedures, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module facilitates accurate screw placement by automatically aligning to pre- or intraoperatively planned trajectories.

Automated alignment

Accuracy and precision take the lead during spine 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 while reacting to the spine’s flexibility.

Simplify and save

Surgeons can benefit from simplified, reliable support and assistance during procedures with Cirq®. As the lightweight robotic platform isn’t the center of the workflow, it has been designed to save space in the operating room. The modularity, flexibility and mainly reusable components of the platform also enable high utilization to increase the value for users.

Survey results*

Having tried all major robotic systems on the market, the Cirq® robotic system, for me, is the best. The simplicity of the system and the software make it very easy to use. I have performed robotic spinal surgeries from atlas to sacrum with Cirq®. I specifically like the flexibility which enhances safety, like adjusting the docking point of the drill guide on the bone, as this provides a safe anchor and excellent haptic feedback before drilling.

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  • With a navigation platform, in which only one 3D image is taken; if the patient moves, the platform will display outdated information, which could lead to potential screw misplacement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 as well as 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 platform attaches easily to most O.R. tables and accommodates multiple imaging devices.

Interchangeable modules for more flexibility

The future of robotic surgery is modular. With its interchangeable modules,
Cirq® is a highly adaptable and versatile robotic surgical platform.

Product features

Full integration, full flexibility

Experience the benefits of full integration by using Brainlab advanced planning features, high resolution imaging and a navigated workflow together as one. Spine alignment software 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 spine alignment software, notify the user in case of deviation.
