Problem
Traditional spine surgery navigation systems require surgeons to divert their attention from the patient to external screens, potentially disrupting focus and workflow. Existing technologies may also involve increased radiation exposure and can be cumbersome to integrate into existing surgical practices.
Solution
Augmedics offers the xvision Spine System, an augmented reality (AR) surgical navigation system designed to overlay critical information directly onto the surgeon's field of view during spine procedures. This headset-based system allows surgeons to visualize patient anatomy in 3D, including pre-operative plans and real-time instrument tracking, without looking away from the surgical site. By eliminating the need to consult external monitors, xvision aims to enhance surgical accuracy, streamline workflow, and minimize radiation exposure. The system is designed for broad applicability across open, minimally invasive, and percutaneous posterior spine procedures from C3 to the pelvis.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes spine surgeons (neurosurgeons and orthopedic surgeons) performing open, minimally invasive, and percutaneous posterior spine procedures.
