Navigation Software Spine & Trauma
Streamlines Your Spine Workflow

Now, more than ever, Spine & Trauma navigation software acts as a central data hub as it seamlessly switches between applications, which is particularly important for robotic workflows using Cirq and/or Loop-X.

Navigation support in spine is well-established and is ideal for a broad range of indications, such as cervical fusion, complex deformity correction, tumor removal and trauma.

More Accuracy, Less Radiation

Spine Navigation delivers accurate pedicle screw and interbody placement. This efficiency and precision enables a drastic reduction of X-Ray exposure.

Increased accuracy1,2

Spine Navigation delivers more accurate pedicle screw placement compared to conventional surgical techniques. Navigate implants and instruments on 2D images, 3D scans, MR or CT datasets in all stages of surgery.

Brainlab Spine Navigation:

  • Enables accurate planning of incisions and trajectories with any instrument

  • Supports implant placement, such as cages and pedicle screws, especially in anatomically critical areas

  • Guides posterior incision and facilitates minimally invasive surgeries

Decreased X-Ray Exposure3,4

By requiring fewer verification scans due to precision instrument tracking, Brainlab Spine Navigation leads to reduced X-Ray exposure to the surgical team and the patient. Visualize incisions and trajectories in real-time and plan with any instrument at skin level.

  • Reduce X-Ray exposure to surgical team

  • Plan incisions and trajectories at skin level

  • Visualize instruments on 2D images, 3D scans, MR or CT scans in real time

Guiding the Surgeon’s Expertise

Spine navigation amplifies the surgeon’s extensive skill and experience.
The software works in tandem with the surgeon to provide additional insights and guidance.

Flexible registration methods

Choose your registration method

Spine Navigation software is an essential tool for arriving efficiently at your desired surgical outcomes. Image registration keeps navigation up-to-date as the anatomy changes while minimizing radiation exposure to the surgical team. Choose the registration method that works with your existing intraoperative imaging device or surface match the patient based on their pre-op CT.

How Spine Navigation Amplifies Surgery

Image: Incorporating critical information into intraoperative imaging navigation

Navigate on any type of image data such as CT, MR, fluoro 3D and 2D Loop-X images, to incorporate critical information into navigation.

Discover Spinal Planning

Treat a Multitude of Indications

From cervical and high thoracic dorsal instrumentations to routine lower lumbar surgery, complex deformity surgery, tumor treatment and surgery planning, Spinal Navigation is ready to help you maneuver through your case. Both pre- and intraoperative images can be registered for navigation so you can work from the most useful dataset.

Degenerative cases

For routine degenerative procedures, you can intraoperatively plan pedicle screws with the help of the instrument tip offset tool. Your entry points and trajectories can be planned and stored even before the first incision. Once planned, let autopilot mode guide you to your intended destination.

Deformity correction

During deformity cases such as scoliosis, you can navigate on more than one dataset simultaneously to bring together all the preoperative information you need. Fusion applications adapt your preoperative plans to the patient’s intraoperative position while saving time and radiation exposure from additional intraoperative scans.
