KEY FEATURES FOR NEURO NAVIGATION

INTUITIVE

Efficient, customizable procedural workflows

Customized surgeon preferences and procedural workflows allow for a more efficient software experience
Multi-touch enabled interactions similar to common consumer devices make the software easy to learn and easy to use
Flexible patient registration enables you to combine both touch and trace techniques and allows you to refine your registration

PROVEN

25+ years of experience in surgical navigation

3.5 million patients have been treated with Stealthstation™
3rd generation of EM navigation technology provides proven accuracy for pinless procedures
Quantifiable accuracy metrics provide information on the quality of registration, giving you the confidence expect from Stealth™

Simple and fast

Simplified patient registration

Simplified patient registration automatically detects fiducials, eliminating the need to manually pick registration points, making registrations faster than other StealthStation™ solutions
Registration options accommodate fiducial and non-fiducial based patient registration, including automatic registration with the O-arm™ Imaging System

INTEGRATION.

Your partner in every step of the procedure

Our SurgicalSynergy program is offering hospitals complete solutions for the entire surgery. We can leverage synergies that will help transform the surgical experience, drive better clinical outcomes, and enhance economic value. StealthStation™ S8 Cranial Solution is your hub for enabling technologies, transforming complex data into useful information.

ELECTROMAGNETIC TECHNOLOGY

StealthStation S8 EM navigation is a pinless option to optical navigation. EM navigation tools include a tip-tracked stylet, patient trackers, and malleable suction instruments.

StealthStation EM is configured with a single cart or dual carts and a compact instrument interface box. There are two emitter options, both with a large tracking volume.

Flat Emitter for StealthStation EM
The flat emitter is designed to be placed under the patient’s head.

Side-Mount Emitter for StealthStation EM
The side-mount emitter offers broad positioning options. It has a small footprint and mounts on the side of the cart or bedrail.

The StealthStation EM stylet aids placement of compatible devices including:

Ventricular catheters for adult and pediatric shunts , connections to Omaya reservoirs, and hematoma drainage
VentriClear™ external ventricular drainage catheters
Neuro endoscope peel-away catheters
Epilepsy depth electrodes

StealthStation EM patient trackers are MRI Conditional, improving workflow during intra-operative MRI cases. Choose a skull-mounted or non-invasive model.

The suction instruments have Stealth EM technology in the tip. Simply bend the instrument as necessary and continue operating. Choose a standard, ball, or angled tip.

StealthStation EM Flexible Stylet
Navigate the StealthStation EM stylet with compatible devices.

StealthStation EM Stylet with External Ventricular Drainage Catheter
Use the EM stylet to place a VentriClear External ventricular drainage catheter.

StealthStation EM Stylet with Introducer Catheter
Use the EM stylet to place a peel-away introducer catheter.

Stealth Integration in the OR

Your Hub for Surgical Knowledge
StealthStation S8 Navigation System can integrate each technology and transform complex data into useful information.

O-ARM SURGICAL IMAGING SYSTEM

The O-arm surgical imaging system provides real-time, intra-operative imaging of devices such as DBS leads, microelectrodes, depth electrodes and biopsy needles.

Close with Confidence
Confirm that you achieved the surgical goal by combining O-arm 3-D imaging with image fusion on the StealthStation. The example shows a deep brain stimulation procedure.

MICROSCOPES

See StealthStation images on the heads-up display through microscope oculars while maintaining visualization of the anatomy.

Navigate the microscope's focal point like a virtual probe
Know where you are in respect to your surgical plan at all times
Integrate with Leica and Carl Zeiss microscopes

ULTRASOUND

Integrating ultrasound data intra-operatively with your StealthStation navigation system may help you monitor for brain shift. Integration is simple:

Connect the ultrasound device and Stealth system
Calibrate the ultrasound probe for navigation
Review brain shift and resection levels
