MAXIO V2 is a stereotactic accessory intended for the spatial positioning and orientation of an instrument guide to assist in manual advancement of one or more instruments for image guided procedures. It provides Preoperative planning and intra operative guidance to the surgeon by visually representing the targeted path and position(s) on the image based model of the target organ along with the data provided by the instrument manufacturer.
An assembly of electromechanical devices designed to be used during computer assisted surgery (CAS) as a functional extension of the surgeon for precise procedural movement and placement (navigation) during the procedure (e.g., placement of a pedicle screw in spinal surgery). It typically consists of an operator's console featuring a robotic surgical arm(s) and a video camera used to track the robotic instrumentation. The input to the computer is usually by means of an existing CT or MRI scan. The system tracks the instrumentation by reading the location points giving a three-dimensional (3-D) picture of the instrument's position/angulation. It can also be used as a training aid.
