Surgical Navigation for Lumbar Spine Surgery

Medtronic Navigation offers a full procedural solution with the ability to reference and navigate the following steps of a lumbar procedure:

• Pedicle preparation
• Screw placement
• Disc preparation

Improved OR Efficiencies

• With the use of navigation and integrated instruments, there is the potential for a decrease in the use of fluoro in the OR
• Navigated awls, taps and screwdrivers assist with the accurate placement of pedicle screws, regardless of anatomical anomalies
• Navigated disc preparation instruments (curette, scrapers, etc.) assist in ensuring adequate disc removal and endplate preparation
• Dedicated instruments and procedure-specific software flows enable easy staff support while in the OR
• Surgeon-specific set-ups and instruments can be programmed

Reduced Radiation Exposure
