Medtronic Announces Most Advanced StealthStation(TM) for Neurosurgery
April 24 2017 - 09:00AM
New Platform to
Offer Flexibility, Ease of Use, Improved Registration and Advanced
Visualization for Custom Procedural Workflows
DUBLIN and LOS ANGELES - April
24, 2017 - Medtronic plc (NYSE:MDT) today launched its new
StealthStation(TM) technology at the American Academy of
Neurological Surgeons (AANS) annual conference in Los Angeles.
StealthStation technology has been a mainstay in neurosurgery
suites for the past 25 years, being used in more than 2.25 million
procedures.
With the new StealthStation(TM) S8 model,
Medtronic brings an advanced solution to neurosurgeons with
enhanced workflows, efficiencies, and more comprehensive data
integration, providing useful surgical navigation information.
"Neuro-navigation and computer-based surgical
guidance has become a standard part of neurosurgery practices
today. The StealthStation helps me ensure complete resections as
well as helps me minimize approach-related complications," said
neurosurgeon Colin Buchanan, M.D., The Medical Center of Aurora in
Colorado. "I believe many neurosurgeons will be excited to see what
the newest version of this technology will offer."
The StealthStation S8 technology includes a new and improved
software interface, a two-cart platform design, and electromagnetic
technology to complement the surgical workflows.
The new user interface brings a streamlined
solution with intuitive software workflows designed for ease of
use. The software provides new tools for advanced visualization -
allowing the surgeon to use the data intraoperatively. Patient
registration improvements allow the surgeon more flexibility in
registration, while providing quantitative feedback. Planning
components allow them to combine valuable patient data and segment
structures all integrated onto high-definition touchscreen monitors
for 3D visualization to help the surgeon plan prior to entering the
operating room.
"The StealthStation S8 demonstrates Medtronic's continued
commitment to innovation, helping surgeons make critical decisions
and enhancing the OR environment for all surgical staff," said
Brett Wall, senior vice president and president of Medtronic's
Brain Therapies division, which is part of the Restorative
Therapies Group. "We look forward to seeing how this next
generation of the Stealth system will contribute to the continued
transformation of how neurosurgeons treat brain and spine disorders
around the world."
