Navigation Software Spine & Trauma
streamlines your spine workflow
Now, more than ever, it acts as a central data hub as it seamlessly switches between applications, a feature that is particularly important for a robotic workflow using Cirq and/or Loop-X.
Navigation support in spine is well-established and applicable to a broad range of indications, such as cervical fusion, complex deformity correction, tumor removal and trauma.
More Accuracy, Less Radiation
Spine Navigation delivers accurate pedicle screw- and interbody placement. This efficiency and precision enables a drastic reduction of X-Ray exposure.
Increased accuracy1,2
Spine Navigation delivers more accurate pedicle screw placement compared to conventional surgical techniques. Navigate implants and instruments on 2D images, 3D scans, MR or CT datasets in all stages of surgery.
Brainlab Spine Navigation:
- Enables accurate planning of incisions and trajectories with any instrument
- Supports implant placement, such as cages and pedicle screws, especially in anatomically critical areas
- Guides posterior incision and facilitates minimally invasive surgeries
Decreased X-Ray Exposure3,4
By requiring fewer verification scans due to precision instrument tracking, Brainlab Spine Navigation leads to reduced X-Ray exposure to the surgical team and the patient. Visualize incisions and trajectories in real-time and plan with any instrument at skin level.
- Reduce X-Ray exposure to surgical team
- Plan incisions and trajectories at skin level
- Visualize instruments on 2D images, 3D scans, MR or CT scans in real time
Guiding the Surgeon’s Expertise
Spine navigation amplifies the surgeon’s extensive skill and experience. The software works in tandem with the surgeon to provide additional insights and guidance.
Workflow Spine and Interbody Navigation
Choose your registration method
Spine Navigation software is an essential tool for arriving efficiently at your desired surgical outcomes. Image registration keeps navigation up-to-date as the anatomy changes while minimizing radiation exposure to the surgical team. Choose the registration method that works with your existing intraoperative imaging device or surface match the patient based on their pre-op CT.
Navigate and arrive at your desired outcome
Brainlab Spine Navigation is designed to provide a streamlined user interface and automatic functionalities. After registration the software allows you to immediately navigate using the registered data. Navigate using any planning data or CT, XT and MR images and gain additional anatomical context with inline, 3D, DRR, probe’s eye and autopilot views. In addition, all of the images can be integrated with each other.
Plan or update during surgery
Gain maximum flexibility during surgical procedures with our Spine Navigation software. Complete with straightforward, intraoperative planning tools, such as a ruler functionality, Spine Navigation enables you to perform easy and quick on-the-fly screw planning and even update pre-planned screws during surgery.
Choose your preferred instrument
With the instrument integration app, you have the possibility to use your preferred instrument, even in a navigated workflow. With a very fast and easy calibration method and a universal reference star adapter, you can calibrate most instruments. Brainlab instruments and main partner instruments are even pre-calibrated and can be used within seconds.
Navigate cages of your choice
Instrument Setup Software allows for the generic calibration of rectangular and kidney-shaped interbody cages, supporting both posterior and lateral cage approaches.
With a quick and straightforward calibration, the software supports navigated cage placement for desired positioning. The interbody navigation features allow you to control disk space preparation for optimal cage placement.
How Spine Navigation Amplifies Surgery
Navigate on any type of image data such as CT, MR and fluoro 3D to incorporate critical information into navigation.
Import pre-planned objects, like screws with trajectories and contoured tumors, to add context.
Treat a Multitude of Indications
From cervical and high thoracic dorsal instrumentations to routine lower lumbar surgery, complex deformity surgery, tumor treatment and surgery planning, Spinal Navigation is ready to help you maneuver through your case. Both pre- and intraoperative images can be registered for navigation so you can work from the most useful dataset.
Degenerative cases
For routine degenerative procedures, you can intraoperatively plan pedicle screws with the help of the instrument tip offset tool. Your entry points and trajectories can be planned and stored even before the first incision. Once planned, let autopilot mode guide you to your intended destination.
Deformity correction
During deformity cases such as scoliosis, you can navigate on more than one dataset simultaneously to bring together all the preoperative information you need. Fusion applications adapt your preoperative plans to the patient’s intraoperative position while saving time and radiation exposure from additional intraoperative scans.
Tumor resection
3D objects visible below the surface enhance precise approach planning, add context and give a further understanding of the patient’s anatomy, allowing you to make informed decisions with live updates during surgery.
Navigation for Every Surgeon
Configure to suit your needs
Spine & Trauma Navigation is the basis for the digitalization of your hospital’s entire spine surgery workflow. Start with this piece of straightforward software and scale up whenever you need.
Integration for every O.R.
Adding Brainlab Spine & Trauma Navigation is possible for every surgeon and every surgery. Brainlab integrates with Cone Beam CTs (C-arms, angio devices), intraoperative CTs, and third party instruments. Regardless of budget, workflow or existing equipment, we can level up your surgeries.
Integrate the instruments you already use
Spine Navigation fits seamlessly into your surgeries. With its open platform approach, you can easily use the instruments you know.
Navigate with your current setup
Spine & Trauma Navigation easily integrates into any existing O.R. and is compatible with any imaging system. There’s no need to purchase proprietary imaging hardware.
