O-arm™ surgical imaging system

<p>The O-arm™ surgical imaging system offers on-demand imaging, robotic positioning, and device mobility for spinal and&nbsp;cranial procedures.</p>

Features

Superior image quality

With the ability to perform both 2-D and 3-D scans, the O-arm™ generates exceptional and versatile imaging that assist in surgical planning and navigation, validate accurate placement during procedures, and facilitate post-operative positioning evaluation.

Gain confidence across the entire spinal procedural range with the superior volume and power of the O-arm™ system:

  • Obtain highly detailed images with a full 360-degree rotation around the patient.
  • Image a patient’s entire pelvis and streotactic frames with a wide 40 cm field of view.

Get the image clarity you deserve without any compromises to your surgical workflow.


O-arm™ is part of the AiBLE™ solution

O-arm™ Surgical Imaging System is a foundational component of AiBLE™, Medtronic's digital data-driven surgical ecosystem.

AiBLE™ is an integrated experience of innovative technology, software, services and people that aims to Connect, Predict and Advance.

Indications

The O-arm™ O2 Imaging System is a mobile x-ray system designed for 2D fluoroscopic and 3D imaging for adult and pediatric patients weighing 27kg or greater and having an abdominal thickness greater than 16cm, and is intended to be used where a physician benefits from 2D and 3D information of anatomic structures and objects with high x-ray attenuation such as bony anatomy and metallic objects. The O-arm™ O2 Imaging System is compatible with certain image guided surgery systems.

Product details

The O-arm™ system’s high quality, versatile imaging provides the information you need to guide your clinical decision making.

Advanced energy solutions

Along with StealthStation navigation, the O-arm™ system provides enhanced 3D visibility and surgical feedback. It also:

  • Provides current patient data in the OR
  • Enables advanced surgical approaches like MIS
  • Provides additional information in challenging procedures, like heavier patients or patients with unusual anatomy1,2,3
  • Automatic registration keeps the process simple

The O-arm™ system also offers options for workflow efficiencies, such as:

  • In procedures where pre-op axial/coronal/sagittal slice data is necessary, it may be possible to use the O-arm™ system to provide the initial data set
  • Eliminating the need to send patients to be scanned in radiology

Imaging protocols

The O-arm™ system provides flexibility for surgeons to achieve As Low As Reasonably Achievable (ALARA). Multiple image protocols allow the surgeon flexibility to choose the appropriate dose to the patient based upon individual clinical objectives.4

Opportunities to reduce dose

With opportunities to reduce dose to the surgeon and staff, the O-arm™ and StealthStation systems eliminate the need to wear lead protective apparel during the navigated steps of the procedure.5,6

Surgical workflow

The O-arm™ system has been designed to complement the surgical workflow with:

  • Multiple surgical table options
  • Inter-room mobility for concurrent cases
  • On-demand imaging, no need to schedule in advance
O-arm system standard dose protocol
O-arm system low dose protocol (50% less dose)

Medtronic surgical imaging has reached new levels. 

Introducing 3 new functional enhancements: 3D Long Scan, Spine Smart Dose and Medtronic Implant Resolution.

3D Long Scan (3DLS) allows now 3D imaging up to 43.8cm, adding visibility to additional levels of the patients spinal anatomy.7


To support surgeons in making a confident clinical decision, the new Medtronic Implant Resolution (MIR) functionality aids. It helps with evaluation of the screw placement by enhancing the visualization of the bone anatomy around certain Medtronic screw systems.7

The Spine Smart Dose (SSD), an AI based algorithm, only needs 70% of the dose of a standard scan, while maintaining the image quality.7


A complete solution for spinal surgery

Today more than 600 scientific papers8 show the high interest of the medical community in this solution and testify the clinical and economic benefits of O-arm™ intraoperative imaging and StealthStation™ navigation.
