IV2
IV2 is a high performance surgical navigation system for ENT surgeries. Using advanced technology and high precision optical camera it offers surgeons more accurate and reliable navigation during surgery.
IV2 has fast, user friendly and robust software which provides simple and minimal hand interaction by more visualized and automatic procedures. This comprehensive software offers advanced facilities from pre-operative planning to post-operative documentation.
System supports wide range of data inputs such as CT scan, MRI and fMRI images and fuses them precisely. It has full integration with operation room devices such as microscope, endoscope and different imaging devices.
Ear/Nose/Throat applications
As with cranial surgery, extreme finesse is required to navigate the many small passages and cavities involved in ENT surgery. The navigation system can be used for:
- Sinus surgery
- Cyst and polyp removal
- Optic nerve decompression
- Frontal mucocele
- Skull base surgeries
