Airo stryker7/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Q Guidance features completely redesigned software applications, semi-automatic and automatic segmentation features, gesture recognition and broad compatibility with various types of image sets. Stryker’s Q Guidance System aims to deliver surgical spine planning and navigation capability through multiple tracking options, software algorithms and smart instrumentation. The Spine Guidance Software is reportedly the first spine navigation software to receive clearance from FDA for use with pediatric patients aged 13 and older. When used with Spine Guidance Software, the system provides advanced planning and intraoperative guidance designed to enable open or percutaneous computer-assisted surgery. Robotics with navigation and the promise of more precise surgery is clearly the wave of the future in spine and neurosurgery.Stryker received FDA 510(k) clearance to market the Q Guidance System. unveils their Pulse spinal robotic surgery application in late September at the annual meeting of the North American Spine Society (NASS). This announcement also comes just before the world’s biggest medtech company-Medtronic-is scheduled to unveil their latest surgical robotic assist system at an event in Connecticut in September. Stryker’s announcement comes on the heels of Siemens Healthineers August 8 announcement of acquisition of Corindius Vascular Robotics. This combined technology allows both imagining and robotic navigation technology for spinal procedures, including the use of a robotic arm which integrates with the Mobius CT scanner, creating a full imaging, navigation, and robotic solution for spine procedures.Īnalysts and investors note that Stryker’s acquisition signals a clear industry-wide movement toward robotics acquisitions in the field of medical technology. ![]() The Airo CT system is complemented by the Cardan Robotics system, which was previously marketed as the Orion surgical suite. This acquisition also puts Stryker into the rapidly growing spinal robotic assist technology market. The acquisition gives Stryker immediate entry into the intra-operative imaging segment. Gregerson previously co-founded Breakaway Imaging, which sold its O-arm imaging system to Medtronic's surgical navigation systems business in 2007. The acquisition is the second major medtech exit for Mobius CEO and co-founder Eugene Gregerson. Stiles continued, “We look forward to working together to advance Stryker’s mission to make health care better and accelerate our pursuit of category leadership in neurotechnology, orthopedics and spine.” Spencer Stiles, Stryker’s Group President, Orthopaedics and Spine and Interim President, Joint Replacement, said of the purchase, “This acquisition brings expertise in advanced imaging and robotics as well as a robust product pipeline that add to Stryker’s portfolio and will allow the Spine division to provide more complete procedural solutions, including sales, service, and support.” In its release announcing the acquisition, Stryker stated that Mobius focuses on “integrating advanced imaging technologies into medical workflow, which can enhance a clinician’s ability to obtain high-quality images.” ![]() Stryker’s Acquisition of Mobius and Cardan Robotics ![]()
