SeaSpine Holdings (Nasdaq: SPNE) at the moment introduced the one hundredth worldwide placement of its 7D Flash navigation system.
7D Flash makes use of seen gentle to create a three-dimensional picture for surgical navigation in simply seconds. SeaSpine says the quick 3D imaging ends in shorter and extra environment friendly spinal procedures with much less radiation publicity. Novel and proprietary camera-based expertise and machine-vision algorithms have enabled the 7D Flash’s options.
Inova Fairfax Hospital in Virginia bought the one hundredth system.
“Their distinctive segmental referencing methodology and Flash navigation system will defend sufferers and suppliers from the cumulative results of radiation whereas permitting for extra correct placement of spinal fixation. We are able to just about eradicate use of X-ray throughout the surgical procedure and general scale back radiation for the affected person and save time in comparison with different navigation techniques,” orthopedic surgeon Dr. Laurel Blakemore mentioned in a information launch.

The 7D Flash’s velocity, accuracy and effectivity gives important financial worth, in keeping with the corporate. As well as, it lowers radiation for employees and sufferers in open procedures and harnesses the true potential of image-guided navigation.
One other current set up occurred at Parkview Orthopedic Hospital in Indiana with Dr. Ahmer Ghori.
Stated Ghori: “The Flash Navigation system eliminates intraoperative radiation related to the ‘spin’ required for conventional navigation applied sciences, thus leapfrogging operative effectivity whereas defending sufferers and suppliers from the cumulative results of radiation. FLASH expertise eliminates the challenges of adjusting the anatomy intra-op with positioning, interbody work, or just by knocking the reference body.”
Brian Stuart, the corporate’s VP of gross sales and enabling applied sciences, expects extra progress. “As we proceed to ship new performance just like the not too long ago launched percutaneous backbone module for minimally invasive backbone procedures, we count on to see continued progress all through the U.S. and world wide with this game-changing expertise.”
