Problem
Traditional optical tracking systems used in orthopedic surgeries require a direct line of sight, which can be obstructed by surgical instruments or the patient's anatomy. This can lead to inaccuracies and interruptions during the procedure. Current navigation systems also involve lengthy setup times, increasing the overall duration of the surgery.
Solution
Caira Surgical is developing a radar-based surgical tracking technology designed to replace optical tracking in navigated and robotic orthopedic procedures. The system uses radar to track surgical instruments with sub-millimeter accuracy, eliminating line-of-sight issues and improving surgical precision. The technology aims to simplify workflows and reduce setup time by up to five times compared to conventional systems. By enhancing usability and precision, Caira Surgical intends to make robotic and navigated procedures more accessible, ultimately improving patient outcomes in joint replacement surgeries.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes orthopedic surgeons performing joint replacement surgeries, as well as hospitals and surgical centers utilizing robotic and navigated surgical systems.
