Problem
Surgeons rely on fluoroscopy (X-ray imaging) during procedures to visualize instruments, but frequent X-rays increase radiation exposure for both the patient and the surgical team. Existing methods may also involve bulky equipment, capital expenditures, and time-consuming setup.
Solution
TrackX Technology offers a universal instrument tracking system that enhances surgical accuracy and efficiency by providing real-time virtual live fluoroscopy. The system recalibrates with each new X-ray, allowing surgeons to track instruments and implants with accurate, up-to-date imaging. This approach reduces the number of X-rays needed during a procedure, significantly minimizing radiation exposure and decreasing overall operating room time. The system is designed for quick setup, requiring only the attachment of a disposable TrackX Snap to the instrument.
Target Audience
The primary customers are surgeons and hospitals seeking to improve surgical accuracy, reduce radiation exposure, and optimize operating room efficiency.
