Overview
Track the location of surgical instruments throughout a procedure
The StealthStation™ S8 navigation system introduces the most advanced version of Stealth technology — a combination of hardware, software, tracking algorithms, image data merging, and specialized instruments — to help guide you during surgical procedures. It enables clear visualization and surgical navigation of the cranium.
Imagine what you can do with a fully connected OR.
StealthStation™ S8 is part of the AiBLE™ surgical suite.
Plan, execute, and analyze your spinal and cranial procedures with a fully connected, seamlessly integrated suite of surgical technologies from Medtronic.
Product details
The visualization you need for your most challenging procedures
The StealthStation™ surgical navigation system offers both optical and electromagnetic (EM) tracking capabilities, integration with external devices like microscopes, a broad array of instrument offerings, and core software applications for neurosurgery including:
- Tumor resections
- Cranial biopsies
- General ventricular catheter placement
- Pediatric ventricular catheter placement
- Depth electrode, lead, and probe placement
- General localization
Stealth™ planning
Stealth™ planning allows you to view patient images, merge and manipulate scans, build fiber tracts, and plan procedures before entering the operating room (OR).
- Better visualization with easier manipulation of 2-D and 3-D views and intuitive layering and blending tools2
- Improved planning process with model building tools so you can get more out of the data
Interact with the Stealth™ planning station as if you were sitting in front of it.
- Access, create, edit, review plans and models while away from the hospital, then transfer the session to the OR StealthStation™.
- Use hospital’s choice of virtual network computing (VNC) client.
Capabilities of the StealthStation™ navigation system
- Interfaces with intraoperative imaging systems, including iMRI , iCT, C-arms, and the O-arm™ surgical imaging system to orient surgeons with 3-D images of the patient’s anatomy
- Tracks surgical instruments in real time, based on preoperative and intraoperative images
- Relays movements of instrumentation relative to patient anatomy via optical or electromagnetic navigation options
- Helps guide your planning and approach prior to and during surgery, allowing you to create, store, and simulate progression along one or more surgical trajectories
- Integrates with external devices like endoscopes and microscopes, streamlining visualization workflows
StealthStation™ system technologies
Dual cart Stealth™ S8 system design
Interact with the StealthStation™ surgical navigation system through two large, 27-inch, high-definition, touchscreen monitors, providing ultimate flexibility in interacting with the system.
- Two electromagnetic emitter designs, each with large tracking volumes.
Streamlined workflows in the OR
Touchscreen interface of StealthStation™ S8
Connectivity in the OR
- Wireless connectivity to hospital and medical devices, allowing the import and export of exams from virtually anywhere within the hospital network
- Automatic patient registration with the O-arm™ imaging system
- Integrating with Midas Rex drill technology, Stealth Autoguide™ robotic solution, O-arm™ imaging system, and microscopes
Cybersecurity
Each customer can define the level of security for user authentication, antivirus protection, encryption, and firewall protection.
