Stryker announced successful completion of the first shoulder replacement surgeries in Europe using Blueprint Mixed Reality (MR) Guidance system.
Blueprint Mixed Reality Guidance combines Stryker’s software with the Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset, allowing the surgeon to track the position and orientation of surgical instrumentation in the physical environment. Blueprint Mixed Reality Guidance allows surgeons and their instruments to be guided by 3D images and guidance widgets, which can be displayed on the patient and in the surgeon’s line of sight without disrupting normal workflow. The MR Guidance system received CE Mark approval at the end of 2023, and the first surgeries globally were performed in the U.S. and Canada in December 2023.
“This latest tool builds upon a decade of Blueprint’s presence in Europe, and we continue innovating to ensure the platform has the potential to further benefit surgeons and patients alike,” said Markus Ochs, Vice President and General Manager of Stryker’s European Trauma & Extremities division.
