Cirq for SpinalFreedom through
robotic automation

Modern spine surgeries are often conducted in one of two ways:

• With the use of fluoroscopy which results in increased radiation exposure for the surgeons and only produces 2D images

• With a navigation system in which only one 3D image is taken. If the patient moves, the system will display outdated information, which could lead to potential screw misplacement.

In comparison, the Cirq workflow is designed to keep the characteristics of image guided spine surgery in mind and consider the flexibility of the spine. By having Cirq to accurately guide and hold the instruments, the surgeon can focus on the implant placement in real time.

Cirq fits into almost any operating room allowing surgeons to leverage the advantages of robotics for all kinds of procedures, standard to complex. The system attaches easily to most O.R. tables and accommodates multiple imaging devices.

Experience the benefits of full integration by using Brainlab advanced planning features, high resolution imaging and a pressure-less navigated workflow together as one. The Alignment Software Spine acts as a robotic plugin to the navigation software to seamlessly integrate into the workflow.

Cirq also offers vendor-neutral compatibility with multiple implant sets and a workflow that is suitable for the complete spine in open or minimal invasive procedures.

By automatically aligning to pre- or intraoperatively planned trajectories, the Cirq Robotic Alignment Module helps standardize surgical outcomes.

In addition, it provides stability and prevents skiving as the drill guide secures the entry point by anchoring on the bone. High-speed sharp drills in combination with deviation monitoring provided by the Alignment Software Spine also notify the user in case of deviation.
