Indications

The StealthStation System is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in either open or percutaneous procedures. The StealthStation System is indicated for any medical conditions in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, and where reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the skull, a long bone, or vertebra, can be identified relative to a CT or MR based model, fluoroscopy images, or digitized landmarks of the anatomy.

Product details

The StealthStation surgical navigation system offers both optical and EM tracking capabilities, integration with external devices like microscopes and ultrasound, a broad array of instrument offerings, and core software applications for neurosurgery and spine procedures including:

Biopsy
Tumor resection
Catheter placement
Deep brain stimulation lead placement
Spine decompression or fusion (including, but not limited to ACDF, ALIF PLIF, TLIF, cortical screw placement)
Spinal or pelvic fixation (including, but not limited to, SI fixation, placement of occipital pedicle, cortical, facet screws, fixation for scoliosis, kyphosis, or other deformity )
Treatment for spinal or sacral trauma (including, but not limited to, vertebroplasty, sacroplasty )

System advancements

Intuitive user interface with two touchscreen monitors, which support multitouch gestures like pinch-and-zoom and drag-and-drop¹
Better visualization with easier manipulation of 2-D and 3-D views and intuitive layering and blending tools²
Patient registration with more versatility, such as using both touch and trace techniques within the same registration process²
Model building tools to get more out of the data and improve your planning process
Single or dual cart configurations for greater flexibility³

Capabilities

Interfaces with intraoperative imaging systems, including iMRI , iCT , C-arms, and the O-arm™ surgical imaging system, to orient surgeons with 3-D images of the patient’s anatomy
