Caduceus S is intended as an intraoperative guidance system to enable minimally invasive surgery. Intraoperatively registered surgical Instruments are tracked by a passive marker sensor system to virtual computer image space on a patient's preoperative or intraoperative 2D or 3D image data.
Caduceus S enables image-guide navigation of medical image data, which can either be acquired preoperatively CT or intraoperatively C-arm by an appropriate image acquisition system.
Caduceus S offers pedicle screw implant size planning and navigation on rigid bone structures with intraoperatively registered surgical Instruments.
Caduceus S is indicated for L5~T6 spine surgery where reference to a rigid anatomical structure can be identified relative to the acquired patient imagery (CT or C-arm).
The headset (Surglasses) of the Caduceus S system is an optional heads up display that projects the 2D stereotaxic screens of the system’s display.
