Captiva Spine announced the completion of their first Ambulatory Surgery Center navigated MIS lumbar fusion series in the U.S. The navigated lumbar spine fusion case series was powered by Captiva Spine’s WatchTower Spine Navigation System.
WatchTower Spine Navigation registers a pre-operative CT scan with 2D C-arm imaging, using an algorithm to provide real-time 3D navigation during surgery. This allows the surgeon to percutaneously navigate instruments and implants while reducing radiation exposure.
WatchTower also addresses the need for intraoperative CT scanning or open registration. By eliminating these requirements, the system preserves the potential for percutaneous procedures and reduces operative times and radiation exposure while dramatically reducing facility costs.
“We are deeply committed to pushing the boundaries in spine care by being a clinical and economical solution for facilities,” says Dale Mitchell, Captiva Spine President. “The ASC-READY WatchTower Spine Navigation System removes the necessity for additional expenditure of an intraoperative CT scanner, doing away with such costly and cumbersome imaging equipment and preserving percutaneous procedure potential. WatchTower is becoming a cost-effective choice for ASCs and community hospitals.”
