Image Guided Surgery
Avoiding orbital injuries, entry into the brain, and the carotid artery are paramount, navigation systems deliver meaningful innovation. With reliable accuracy, you can see the instrument-tip location on the screen — which may allow more thorough dissection and reduced complication risk in select patients.
Image-guided surgery is used for procedures including:
- Revision sinus surgery
- Distorted sinus anatomy of development, postoperative, or traumatic origin
- Extensive sino-nasal polyposis
- Pathology involving the frontal, posterior ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses
- Disease abutting the skull base, orbit, optic nerve, or carotid artery
- CSF rhinorrhea or conditions where there is a skull base defect
- Benign and malignant sino-nasal neoplasms
StealthStation™
The StealthStation™ is a navigation system for your most basic to your most complex cases. It is built on decades of scientific, clinical and engineering research. StealthStation™ ENT offers electromagnetic technology that expands what was previously possible with image-guided surgery so you can see more, do more.
- Flat under-the-head emitter
- Optional side-mount emitter
- Additional EM coils create large EM field
- Patient registration provides numerical and visual accuracy feedback
- Virtual endoscopy provides a simulated 3D endoscopic view of the sinuses
- 3D modeling provides enriched visualization
Fusion Compact™
The modular Fusion Compact™ gives you the freedom to use navigation where and when you need it.
