"In my opinion, Stryker's Q Guidance System with Cranial Guidance Software could be the new gold standard for image-guided neurosurgical navigation," said Dr. Melvin Field, medical director for the Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery program at AdventHealth, and member of Orlando Neurosurgery, one of the first surgeons to bring the system to his OR. "Cranial procedures are extremely delicate, and outcomes may go beyond physical health, potentially altering your patient's appearance or personality. The system offers advanced planning and guidance capabilities, giving me greater confidence to perform these complex surgeries."
Leading up to a full commercial launch, Stryker’s Q Guidance System with Cranial Guidance Software will be utilized at five additional EPS sites: the University of New Mexico, the University of Arkansas, the University of Michigan, Thomas Jefferson University, and Lenox Hill Hospital.
Cranial Guidance Software provides a single solution to track brain biopsy and shunt placement instruments, and includes automatic, algorithmic processing as well as comprehensive segmentation capabilities. The software provides tools enabled by gesture recognition for identifying, marking, and localizing targets and anatomical structures of interest.
