Medtronic Announces Most Advanced StealthStation(TM) for Neurosurgery
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
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."
