LaparoGuard
to navigate
surgeries
Mariner Endosurgery’s
LaparoGuard Augmented
Surgical Navigation system
has been approved for use in
U.S. operating rooms.
LaparoGuard is an
augmented surgical navigation
system that enables surgeons
to annotate areas of 3D
safety zones during minimally
invasive procedures.
Similar to the headsup
display of a fighter jet,
LaparoGuard allows surgeons
to annotate areas of risk, and
then see 3D renderings of
surgeon-defined safety zones
as a heads-up, real-time
image overlay.
This information from
LaparoGuard is integrated
into the operating room’s
conventional visualization
equipment, and
LaparoGuard’s functionality
provides surgeons with
additional spatial awareness
information.
The navigation system
also provides continuous
tracking of multiple tools
throughout a procedure for
real-time location updates
within the abdominal cavity.
Siemens
launches mobile
C-arm for OR
Siemens Healthineers
has introduced Cios Fit,
a mobile C-arm designed
for operation room and
demanding multidisciplinary
environment, in India.
Cios Fit is designed to
help in improving quality
of care, achieve efficient
workflows, and profit from
high uptime, thereby reducing
avoidable costs, according to
a company release.
It is built for the tough
job in the operation room
(OR) where the equipment
needs to deliver high-quality
imaging, be simplified in its
Exablate Neuro receives CE mark
Exablate Neuro compatible
with Magnetom Skyra
and Prisma Fit scanners
from Siemens Healthineers
received CE mark. Exablate
Neuro uses focused ultrasound
for treatments deep within
the brain with no surgical
incisions. MR imaging provides
a complete anatomical
survey of the treatment area,
patient-specific planning and
real-time outcome monitoring
throughout the treatment.
The CE mark includes
approval for treatment
of medication-refractory
essential tremor, tremordominant
Parkinson’s
disease and neuropathic
pain. FDA approval for the
Exablate Neuro compatibility
with MRI scanners from
usage, and robust to last for
long.
With Cios Fit-powerful
imaging technology, the
surgeons are able to
maintain consistency with
crystal clear images of
anatomical structures,
implants, screws and
devices resulting in accurate
treatment.

Clínica Universidad de
Navarra (CUN) in Pamplona,
Spain is the first institution in
Europe to successfully treat

needs ensure safety in
the OR.
Free movements with
380° C-arm angulation with
no need to lock it after each
movement simplifies the
entire process for the OR
team. Moreover, its small
footprint and lightweight
design ease the Door-to-Door
transfer for the OR staff.
Breakthrough
