ORTHO‑MR is an FDA‑cleared mixed‑reality platform that overlays AI‑generated, patient‑specific implant trajectories onto the surgeon’s view, enabling hands‑free, real‑time guidance without intraoperative fluoroscopy. By fusing pre‑operative imaging with optical tracking, it improves screw and prosthesis placement accuracy while eliminating radiation exposure and reducing operative time.

Problem
Orthopedic and trauma surgeries often rely on intraoperative fluoroscopy, exposing staff and patients to ionizing radiation and extending procedure times. Manual alignment of implants can be imprecise, leading to variability in outcomes and increased revision risk. The workflow is typically dependent on bulky imaging equipment and repetitive visual checks, which slows operating‑room throughput.
Solution
ORTHO‑MR is an FDA‑registered Class I mixed‑reality system that overlays AI‑generated implant trajectories onto the surgeon’s view of the operative field. By fusing pre‑operative planning data with real‑time spatial tracking, the platform provides a hands‑free, three‑dimensional guide that aligns screws, plates, and prostheses without the need for intraoperative X‑ray. The AI engine continuously refines the suggested path based on bone geometry and instrument position, improving placement accuracy while reducing drilling cycles. Surgeons interact with the holographic overlay through gesture or voice commands, maintaining sterility and workflow continuity. The system’s radiation‑free guidance cuts exposure to zero and shortens operative time, delivering measurable cost savings and higher procedural success rates.
Target Audience
The primary customers are orthopedic and trauma surgeons in hospitals and ambulatory surgical centers seeking to improve implant accuracy, reduce radiation exposure, and shorten case duration.
