First of Its Kind 3D Printed Cervical Anchor Minimizes Surgical Access When Treating Cervical Spine
CoreLink Fusation anchors from CoreLink, LLC (St. Louis, MO, USA) are the first additively manufactured porous anchors designed for robust fixation and bony attachment in challenging anterior cervical fusions, making them an ideal alternative to traditional fixation screws. More...10 Mar 2022
Esophageal Temperature Probe Visible on 3D Cardiac Mapping Systems May Reduce Physician Dependence on Fluoroscopy
The only commercially available multi-sensor esophageal temperature probe that provides high-density, edge-to-edge coverage of the esophagus and is visible on 3D cardiac mapping systems may help physicians reduce their dependence on fluoroscopy. More...10 Mar 2022
First of Its Kind Spinal Implant Directly Matches Patient’s Bone Density and Quality for Personalized Spine Surgery
A new line of cervical cages for anterior cervical discectomy with fusion procedures are the first in the world to match a patient’s bone density and quality to a personalized implant, thus improving spinal surgery outcomes. More...09 Mar 2022
Transperineal Needle-Guidance System Uses MR-Ultrasound Image-Fusion Prostate Biopsy Technology
A new robotic assisted transperineal needle-guidance system allows urologists to plan and position a single needle or multiple needles during image-guided diagnostic and interventional prostate procedures. More...09 Mar 2022
Special Surgical Microscope Sees Through Blood to Distinguish Bacterially Infested Tissue, Bone, Nerves and Soft Tissue
A new collaborative project ‘BetterView’ is working on a special surgical microscope to detect cholesteatomas - an aggressive form of chronic otitis media that triggers inflammation of the middle ear - and bacterial biofilms and to remove them safely. The special surgical microscope uses short-wave infrared light to illuminate blood, bacterial biofilms, cartilage, and soft tissue; display them spatially; and make them distinguishable from each other.

CT as Accurate as Angiography in Detecting Coronary Artery Disease Non-Invasively
A study by researchers from 31 European clinical institutions suggests that cardiac computed tomography (CT) offers a similar level of diagnostic accuracy as catheterization in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), in addition to being associated with a lower risk of complications. More...07 Mar 2022
Smallest Posterior Spinal Fixation Implant Could Be a Game Changer for Spine Surgery
A unique stand-alone spine fixation implant that can be used to treat a variety of pathologies throughout the spine from C2-S1 has become the smallest posterior fixation implant to be cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for spine surgery – smaller than the size of a dime.
