Medtronic - O-arm – Mobile Surgical Imaging

System
The O-arm has successfully established as a gold standard imaging
device for high contrast items in the market. Surgeons, all over the
world consider the O-arm their system of choice, convinced by
image quality, ease of handling, and reliability.

Continuous development and innovation will allow the user to expand their
clinical indications for use and applications in the future. In the modern OR,
intraoperative imaging is an integral tool for the surgical team striving for the
best patient outcomes.

The O-arm System has brought intraoperative imaging to a new level, with
superior image quality and large eld-of-view in both 2D & 3D image sets,
providing surgeons with the information they need most, precisely when they
need it. This allows the surgeon to plan, implement and con rm success of the
surgical procedure before the patient leaves the OR.

The completely motorized system supports quick and easy handling and a
smooth work ow, allowing the surgeon to work in a better-controlled
environment and therefore to focus entirely on the patient. Image quality,
patient safety, sterility and ease of use in the OR are essential design criteria
for the O-arm system. The system optimally supports the surgical work ow
and creates a controlled surgical environment by minimizing manipulations
needed during the procedure. With the unique and patented breakable gantry
the O-arm provides vital lateral patient access, which is essential for optimal
patient positioning and surgical work ow. Compatibility with standard
radiolucent operating tables allows an easy adaptation to any standard OR.

well as any X-ray technique, in up to four imaging positions. The user can
recall the exact image position at the touch of a button any time during
surgery, eliminating time-consuming repositioning and additional X-ray
exposure for scouting.

When not needed for imaging, the gantry moves to the user-de ned park

position within seconds, allowing surgeon’s patient access while maintaining
the integrity of the sterile eld as the O-arm can remain in the surgical eld.
As the O-arm is fully mobile, it can be removed from the OR at any time of the
surgery and be used in a parallel intervention.

Navigate more efficient than ever before

The O-arm System seamlessly integrates with Stealth Station navigation to
reduce X-ray exposure – increasing safety for both OR staff and patients.
Surgical Navigation provides the surgeon with information about the patient’s
anatomy while reducing the X-ray exposure to patient, surgeon and staff.

Automatic Data Transfer of the patient’s 3D data set, as well as of the AP and
lateral images, and automatic anatomical registration on the Stealth Station
Navigation System eliminating the need for lengthy patient registration,
allowing the surgeon to navigate within seconds after image acquisition,
thereby increasing procedural ef ciency.

Additional 3D Datasets may be acquired whenever needed during surgery,

making navigation easy to use, more effective and more reliable than ever
before. The Synergy Experience Advanced Navigation User Interface is
streamlined to t the work ow in the OR and to support the surgeon’s work.

Because trust matters – trust through quality and reliability

Since its market launch in 2006, the O-arm has revolutionized intra-operative
imaging. Within the last eight years, the O-arm has become the gold standard
in the area of intra-operative 2D / 3D spine imaging. Users from all world trust
the high product quality, unequalled reliability and versatility of the O-arm.

Through continuous advancement of the hardware and software, the reliability

is at the level of a x installed diagnostic CT. As a reliable service partner,
Medtronic ensures the best possible performance and availability of the O-arm
throughout its entire service life.

The experience gained over the years is passed on to new users by supervisors
in training centers and by on-site Medtronic staff. The annual users’ meetings
and international special events offer the perfect platforms for sharing and

exchanging experiences. The Medtronic experts are also happy to assist you as
needed–during clinical application in the operating theatre.
The O-arm in numbers:
• 700+ O-arm global installations
• 150+ O-arm installations in Europe
• 250,000+ Patients bene ted from O-arm use
• 1,500+ Surgeon user worldwide use.

Because trust matters – trust through continuous advancement

The O-arm was developed speci cally for use in the operating theatre. Every
day, physicians in neurosurgery, orthopedics, trauma surgery, and also in ENT,
bene t from the advantages of the system during countless interventions.
Over 140 peer-reviewed articles document the bene ts of the system, both
during bone surgery as well as during cranial interventions. Thanks to the
continuous technical advancement of the O-arm, today physicians and
patients bene t from Improved 2D & 3D image quality, Expanded range of
application and Lower dose rate.
