61 surgery. It uses CT-free navigation soware and features a hand-held, robotic bone-shaping de- vice. e system also allows for patient-specific planning. e Navio soware applications guide the surgeon in creating implant plans that localize components and balance so-tissue. Octopus Nuvo Tissue Stabilizer from Medtronic. e device is a flexible stabilizer designed specifically for minimally invasive coro- nary artery bypass graing. e stabilizer features a low-profile design and a 360-degree range of motion. e device also features a compact 3-pod design for direct visualization during minimally invasive cardiac surgery as well as a ball joint that aims to provide greater flexibility. OPMI PENTERO 900 from ZEISS. e OPMI PENTERO 900 is a next generation visu- alization system. It includes apochromatic optics and intraoperative fluorescence modules. e de- vice aims to provide smooth system handling via touchscreen, handgrips, mouth switch or wireless foot control panel. OPMI PENTERO interacts with current and emerging workplace technologies. ORBERA from Apollo Endosurgery. e ORBERA intragastric balloon is designed to help adult patients suffering from obesity lose weight and maintain it. e treatment re- quires no incisions and is administered dur- ing an outpatient, endoscopic procedure. e ORBERA balloon remains inside the patient for six months before removal. e device is part of a longer 12-month program that includes ex- ercise, nutrition and psychological coaching. PediGuard from SpineGuard. Earlier this year, SpineGuard received FDA clearance to market its PediGuard products for minimally invasive surgery. PediGuard is a handheld de- vice that alerts surgeons to potential pedicu- lar or vertebral breaches. e device provides real-time feedback via audio and visual signals. Surgeons have performed more than 35,000 procedures with PediGuard worldwide. Pedi- Guard detects 98 percent of pedicle breaches. Phoenix Minimally Invasive Spinal Fixa- tion System from Orthofix. e Phoenix Minimally Invasive Spinal Fixation System has a built-in reduction tower that is removed aer im- plant construct assembly. e system is designed to reduce surgical steps and screw lengths ranging from 35 mm to 55 mm. e rod inserter allows for minimally invasive delivery without extra incisions. PRECICE Limb Lengthening system from Ellipse Technologies. e system is an intramedullary nail used for limb lengthen- ing of the femur and tibia. An external remote controller is used to non-invasively lengthen the implant. e system features a customizable lengthening protocol based upon the patient's prescription. e system is designed to treat lower limb length discrepancies, oen the result of acute or chronic fractures. Precision Cryoprobes from Endocare, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Health- Tronics. e Cryoprobe freezes tissue at very low temperatures to ablate tumors. e Precision Cryoprobes feature integrated thermocouples and ergonomic handles to ease insertion. All Precision Cryoprobes are insulated to prevent sha frosting. REVOLVE from Globus Medical. e REVOLVE is a posterior stabilization system for minimally invasive spine surgery. e system was designed to reduce surgery time and lessen ana- tomic disruption. e device has multi-level ca- pability and non-threaded locking caps to avoid cross threading and difficult cap placement. is is a low-profile system with surgeons performing the reduction using one instrument with the cap pre-loaded, eliminating steps. Revolution Spine System from Intelli- gent Implant Systems (IIS). e IIS lum- bar implant kit includes the single-fusion plates and screws. e fully disposable instrument kit was developed in collaboration with IIS supplier ECA Medical Instruments. e Revolution spi- nal fusion kits are single-procedure, disposable products designed to simplify workflow and re- duce infection due to cross contamination. ECA estimates hospitals and ASCs using Revolution could save more than $1,200 per procedure. Scorpion Articulating Inserter from Amedica. Developed for transforaminal lum- bar interbody fusions, the Scorpion Articulating Inserter was released in October to accompany the Valeo II TL interbody fusion device system. e technology will aid in minimally invasive procedures and is indicated for use with autogra. ey system is designed for greater control and accuracy for the silicon nitride interbody fusions. SImmetry from Zyga Technolo- gies. SImmetry is a device for minimally in- vasive sacroiliac joint dysfunction designed for fusion procedures. e technology is FDA- cleared and includes a range of threaded, can- nulated implants and associated instrumen- tation. e implants are designed to transfix the sacrum and ilium for a stable bony fusion. STALIF Integrated Interbody from Centinel Spine. Centinel Spine's STALIF device is designed to streamline complex surgi- cal procedures and reduce surgical time with potential cost savings. e implants come in individually packed sterile packages with a re- duced number of instrumentation trays. e implant has a no-profile design and was devel- oped as a better match to the patient's anatomy. SteriSpine PS Pedicle Screw System kits from Safe Orthopaedics. SteriSp- ine Kits include sterile implants and associated single-use surgical instruments designed for fa- cilitating safer, lower-cost surgery. e kits are FDA-cleared and marketed in 16 countries. ere have been more than 1,691 procedures using the kits since the beginning of 2015. A recent study showed the instrument kits reduced surgical time by 12 percent and there was minimal blood loss.
