## Indications for use
Caduceus S is intended as an aid for precisely locating anatomical structures in percutaneous spine procedures. It is indicated for medical conditions in which the use of stereotactic surgery may be appropriate, when reference to a rigid anatomical structure, such as the spine or pelvis, can be identified relative to CT or 2D/3D C-arm images of the anatomy. This can include the spinal implant procedures, such as Posterior Pedicle Screw Placement in the thoracic and lumbosacral spine. Caduceus S offers pedicle screw implant size planning and navigation on rigid bone structures with intraoperatively registered surgical Instruments. The Headset of the Caduceus S displays 2D stereotaxic screens and a 3D anatomy model (floating). The displayed stereotaxic screens are indicated for correlating the tracked instrument location to the patient registered imagery to assist in percutaneous visualization and trajectory planning.
