Recently, Medtronic announced the full-dimensional upgrade of itsMazor X™️ Integrated Platform for Spine Surgery RoboticsSuccessfully launched in China, showcasing its AiBLE Smart Orthopedics Integrated Solution, which includes a cutting-edge digital and intelligent integrated platform, multiple advanced smart devices, and implants.
Medtronic Mazor X™ Spine Surgery Intelligent Navigation Robot, since its launch in China in 2021, has accumulated a large amount of clinical data and experience, and now basically covers all complex spine surgeries. The officially launched Mazor X™ Eagle Spine Surgery Robotic Integrated Platform this time is a full-dimensional upgrade based on the original foundation, featuringGlobal foresight, full-process precision, all-dimensional visibilityThe three major features, especially the ability to handle both bony structures and soft tissues simultaneously during surgery.
# Mazor X™️Technical Advantages of the Integrated Orthopedic Robotics Platform
Utilize the anatomical insight engine and AI artificial intelligence technology to complete comprehensive preoperative planning;Preoperative planning uses the patient's CT data, relying onMazor X™️The anatomical insight engine identifies key anatomical structures, and combines with artificial intelligence through global preoperative planning software to assist doctors in various surgical planning, including screw, skin incision, channel, cage planning, spinal parameter calculation, deformity classification, osteotomy simulation, etc., providing patients with personalized and customized global surgical planning to enhance the efficiency and comprehensiveness of creating surgical plans.
2. Intraoperative RegistrationUtilizeMazor X™️Exclusive single-vertebra cross-modal registration technology completes preoperative planning and patient registration with only two 2D images; using single-vertebra cross-modal registration is more efficient than traditional smart devices that rely on intraoperative 3D scan registration, significantly reducing radiation dose and avoiding the extra time required for creating surgical plans during the operation.
3. Intraoperative LocalizationMazor X™️The 3D surgical area reconstruction function uses optical spatial scanning and intelligent algorithms to build a 3D model of the surgical area, ensuring that the robotic arm avoids obstacles, plans the optimal operating path, and achieves fully automatic, precise positioning throughout the procedure. This ensures the accuracy and safety of the robotic arm's movements, allowing the entire surgical screw placement process to be smooth and efficient.
The Human-Machine Integrated Follow-Up Platform Technology ensures that the operating table, robotic arms, and the patient are rigidly connected within the same spatial system, forming an independent system coordinate. This stable integrated platform effectively reduces deviations caused by slight movements of the patient or the trolley. At the same time, it allows doctors to adjust the bed position as needed, providing a spacious and unrestricted operating space, ensuring the stability and safety of the surgical environment.
4. Intraoperative Visualization
Achieve full-dimensional navigation visualization, allowing doctors to track surgical tools and implants in real time. This provides guidance not only in the planar direction but also visualizes all dimensions including orientation and depth, truly enabling real-time, full-dimensional, and intuitive visualization operations, reducing the number of intraoperative fluoroscopies and minimizing radiation dosage.Combined with visual dynamic tools, this technology effectively alleviates surgeons' muscle fatigue, enhances screw placement stability, and reduces operation time by half, achieving a revolutionary breakthrough in percutaneous minimally invasive surgery with 0 guidewires, 0 radiation, and 100% precise screw placement.# AboutAiBLE Integrated Digital Orthopedic Solution
Medtronic China Orthopedics and Neurosurgery Business Group Launches AiBLE Intelligent Orthopedics Innovation Ecosystem Concept,Aiming to organically integrate existing intelligent orthopedic robots with navigation integration platforms, energy and power devices, tools, implants, and other digital artificial intelligence technologies and products. Combined with the professional skills of doctors, this creates a powerful synergistic effect, achieving a result where 1+1 is greater than 2. Thus, it realizes full-process, full-function, and full-procedure coverage of orthopedic surgeries, providing assurance for both clinicians and treated patients.With the advent of an increasing number of surgical smart devices, spinal surgeries are progressively moving towards minimally invasive and refined approaches. Smart devices have become indispensable assistants for doctors and a necessary precondition for surgical safety. The growing intelligence in surgeries is also increasingly ensuring patient safety and postoperative recovery, leading to an overall improvement in medical standards.
