Pedicle Screw ImplantationFast positioning verification with our mobile 3D C-arm

Our versatile mobile C-arm Cios Spin provides fast and easy-to-use 2D and 3D imaging technology that enhances the precision of your spinal fusion workflows.

Immediate quality control for spinal fusion procedures
Because minimally invasive techniques rely on smaller incisions compared to conventional surgeries, 3D technology offers significant benefits when it comes to verification of correct implant positioning. Our mobile C-arm Cios Spin provides high-quality images intraoperatively, features an easy-to-use isocentric design, and permits seamless integration into your routine workflows. Cios Spin quickly locates implanted screws at the push of a button. This allows you to work efficiently and make immediate corrections to prevent future revision surgeries.

"The Screw Scout application allows the surgeon to systematically assess the pedicle screws at the push of a button while preparing a centered view of any screw in the 3D data set."

"Manually preparing the three relevant projections for four screws can take several minutes. With the new software application, this is a matter of seconds. Screw Scout helps me save time, and it also increases patient safety because it reduces the overall length of the surgery."

Review the clinical evidence

intraoperative correction rate after intraoperative 3D scan at about 9.7%

Fewer revision surgeries

Performing a revision surgery to correct misplaced implants can carry a risk of complications, so intraoperative corrections are preferable. According to studies that examine treatment using 3D-capable mobile C-arms, intraoperative corrections are performed in 9.7% of spine fracture cases on average.² Since misplacements are otherwise often only detected with a postoperative CT scan, this suggests that intraoperative 3D imaging can help you avoid revision surgeries.
