A surgical C-arm and an Optical Navigation system works together in synergy to facilitate a Spinal
surgery platform. Continuous guidance of surgical tools relative to any pre and intra-operatively
acquired 2D and 3D datasets assures reduced operative time, less radiation, and enhanced
precision.
Why should you consider easyNav for C-arm integration?
Calibration and Navigation of other surgical tools such as drill and screwdriver with
● Reduced X-ray radiation exposure:- It assures less radiation by minimizing the number of
C-arm shots taken and real-time guidance with the acquired 2D, 3D images.
● Increased Accuracy:- The automatic registration of the anatomical structures with reference
to the spine marker delivers more accurate pedicle screw placement and real-time image
guidance.
● An approach of minimally invasive spine surgery:- real-time guidance with navigable
instruments.
● Accurate planning of incisions and screw placement trajectories.
● Reduced Anatomical shift error.
● Improved ergonomics for multi-planar imaging due to greater C-arm mobility in comparison
to conventional fluoroscopy.
● Standardized Clinical Workflow.
● Calibration and navigation of other surgical tools with our custom attachment spine trackers.
● Minimizes the continuous repositioning of the C-arm during the case, which in turn reduces
the intra-operative imaging time.
The prime factor of easyNav Spine Navigation comes from the capacity to be integrated with any
version of C-arm ranging from flat panel or conventional C-arms to the latest versions.
The Healthcare industry is one of India’s rapidly growing and largest sectors contributing
approximately 60% of the industry’s total revenue. A wide range of employability and startup
innovations associated with the revenue developed to drive the industry. It comprises of hospitals,
medical devices, telemedicine, clinical trials, medical equipment, integration of health insurance and
boom of medical tourism.
In the period of the 1950s to 2000s there was a substantial growth in the facilities provided by the
healthcare industry. But the rapid multiplication in the enormous growth of population affected the
ratio of medical practitioners per number of citizens drastically. However the advancements in the
public and private sectors managed to overcome this challenge by the first decade of the 20th century. The facilities provided by the public sector funded by the Government are provided free of
cost or at subsidized rates to the citizens.
Indian healthcare industries also comprises of homeopathy and ayurveda which are rapidly gaining
prominence overseas. Due to the progressive nature of our nation, several foreign companies are
interested in investing in our country.
2020 marks the beginning of a new decade forecasted to have a multiplied three-fold increase to Rs
6.2 trillion in the healthcare market. The digitalization, emerging diagnostic technologies, tools in
telemedicine and artificial intelligence play a major role in paving the way for this estimate. Remote
consultations of medical professionals through media facilities and digitalization of records in
hospitals for accurate, up to date and detailed information of the patient are being transformed.
Developments of sophisticated robotic surgical interventions and world-class implants in deep brain
surgeries are gaining significance and attracting investors from foreign countries. India also meets
the 15 country-average in the usage of artificial intelligence within the healthcare domain.
Treatment for major surgeries in India costs approximately around 15-20% of that in economically developed countries. Skilled medical professionals, Indian infrastructure and continuous innovations
of world-class affordable medical devices and diagnostic equipments have intensified and escalated
India’s position as a preferred destination for medical tourism. Affordability, accessibility and superior
quality are put forth by the Indian healthcare system attracting medical tourists globally. Indian
medical tourism market is alone developing at the rate of 18 percent year on year and is expected to
reach $9 Billion by the end of this year.
Health and care delivery will be much advanced in 2030 from what we experience today. The
medical workforce, technologies, drugs and devices is expected to have a significant reorganization.
The healthcare industry focuses on making the treatments more precise and minimally invasive
understanding the mutational aspects of drugs and radiational hazards of imaging on a patient.
However amid COVID-19, there is a steep drop in the number of patients approaching the
healthcare centers globally. In India stringent lockdown measures, well-connected health
professionals and precautionary surveillances have helped in controlling the outbreak to a large extend. Since India is one among the largest manufacturers of generic drugs and vaccines in the
world, a nation is confident about the revival.
