- Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) and Surgical Theater announce a partnership to interface Surgical Theater's SyncAR augmented reality (AR) technology with Medtronic's StealthStation S8 surgical navigation system.
- This collaboration will enable neurosurgeons to use AR technology in real-time to enhance visualization during complex cranial procedures.
- The SyncAR platform allows surgeons to visualize structures in the brain, test virtual surgical tools and plan surgeries before entering the operating room.
- By integrating this technology with the StealthStation S8 cranial solution, surgeons can expand the benefits of AR and, for the first time, see a 360° AR rendering overlaid onto the live surgical site during brain surgeries.
