Stealth Autoguide Platform

2019: Announcement

In the middle of December, 2019 Medtronic submitted the robotic platform intended for neurosurgical transactions. Stealth Autoguide Platform is the system of targeting which serves for space positioning and orientation of the holders and the directing tools used in neurosurgical procedures. The accuracy provided with the Stealth Autoguide system will help neurosurgeons to execute unique difficult transactions, the American producer claims.

The navigation software optimizes surgical workflow robots surgeons, allowing to trace provision of all tools in space. A system provides visualization throughout all procedure, even during drilling, with a possibility of adjustment depending on the plan of transaction.

Stealth Autoguide Platform from Medtronic is already approved for use in procedures of a biopsy, deep placement of electrodes at a stereoelectroencephalography and for positioning of a bone anchor of Visualase in a catheter installation site. All these devices and technologies belong to the Surgical Synergy platform which integrates technologies of Medtronic for holding the consecutive, predictable and reproduced procedures.

The platform consists of the StealthStation Image Guidance system and a high-speed drill of Midas Rex and also the software which provides exact navigation in real time and a visual feedback. As the drill moves ahead to the purpose, a system monitors its progress and provides an exact vizualizaiya to guarantee compliance to plans of the neurosurgeon.

The Stealth Autoguide platform provides to surgeons and personnel of the operating room a possibility of robotic positioning of the patient and all tools and also provides their exact movement on the set trajectories, - the vice president and the chief executive of department of technologies of Medtronic Dave Anderson explained.
