The Mazor platform seamlessly integrates existing StealthStation ™ S8 surgical navigation capabilities into the Mazor Core Technology robot-assisted surgery platform. Real-time image guidance, visualization and navigation are informed by interactive 3D planning and information systems to provide workflow predictability and procedural flexibility.
“The integration of navigation and robotics technologies into a single platform is an exciting advancement in the field of spine surgery,” says Dr. Scott Paquette, orthopedic spine surgeon and president of the Canadian Spine Society. “Mazor represents an incredible future of possibilities in the field of spinal robotics, which I believe will go a long way in reducing risks to patients. “
The three-dimensional Mazor platform allows surgeons to quickly visualize anatomy and vertebral structures in relation to each other. This allows surgeons to plan and simulate spinal cages and screws in advance, with the goal of increasing surgical efficiency and precision.
The best Midas Rex ™ MR8 high-speed electric drilling systems are fully integrated throughout the Mazor system, enabling improved path accuracy starting with the creation of pilot holes and offering accessories and dissection tools designed to drill with precision at speeds up to 75,000 rpm. Surgeons can now use the interbody navigation functions on the Mazor system to visualize disc preparation and interbody placement during a robotic procedure.
“Mazor embodies a synergy between robotics and navigation, providing a rigorous degree of precision built into the entire surgical procedure, in the hope of producing more reliable results”1 said Peter Tomashewski, Senior Director, Neuro and Spine Surgery, within Cranial & Spinal Technologies at Medtronic Canada. “The addition of Mazor to our portfolio provides another transformative tool that elevates our value-driven solutions for spinal care.”
