17 The power of revolution. CELLXTRACT is a revolutionary extraction tool that provides high recovery of cells and their associated signals that, when combined with complementary bone graft substitutes, deliver key components of the bone healing environment. The design automatically repositions the aspiration cannula during extraction to draw from a fresh channel, maximizing cell counts while minimizing the dilution from peripheral blood. CELLXTRACT is intended for single use for aspiration of bone marrow or autologous blood using a standard piston syringe. ©2016 Bioventus LLC.

Mount Sinai's Dr. Joshua Bederson 1st to Use Virtual Reality Imaging System: 6 Highlights By Megan Wood J oshua Bederson, MD, a neurosurgeon at New York City-based Mount Sinai Hospital, is the first to use Germa- ny-based Leica Microsystems' CaptiView. Here are six highlights: 1. CaptiView is a microscope image injection system using virtual reality imaging. 2. Using CaptiView, surgeons view virtual re- ality imaging overlaid on the brain through an eyepiece. Surgeons can see images of a patient's original CT scans or MRIs super- imposed on the patient's brain during micro- scopic surgery. 3. e heads-up display also offers neuro- vascular and fiber-track information in 2D and 3D dimensions. Surgeons may switch eyepiece views, viewing live and preoperative anatomical images. 4. e technology includes Germany-based Brainlab's Cranial 3.1 Navigation Soware and Leica's M530 OH6 microscope. Cap- tiView is used in conjunction with Surgical eater's Surgical Navigation Advanced Plat- form, 3D visualization technology. 5. Dr. Bederson, who specializes in skull-base and cerebrovascular surgery, helped develop the technology. He owns Surgical eater equity. 6. He completed his microneurosurgery fel- lowship at University Hospital Zurich in Swit- zerland and his neurovascular fellowship at Barrow Neurological Institute in Phoenix. "is next-generation augmented virtual real- ity tool provides real-time information in ways never before realized," said Dr. Bederson. n
