Spinal Fusion in the Hybrid ORLaser-guided precision. Designed for spine surgery.

ARTIS pheno.vision is a robotic imaging system that enables you to deliver outcomes that matter to patients undergoing spinal fusion surgery.

Ensuring safety and quality for spinal fusion

Performing spinal fusion using minimally invasive techniques requires extreme precision. Intraoperative 3D imaging is crucial for such procedures, because it helps you ensure correct screw insertion and permits corrections directly in the Hybrid OR, thereby avoiding future revision surgeries.

With myScrew Path Assist on ARTIS pheno.vision, surgeons gain a fully integrated guidance solution – no optical camera, no reference arrays, no additional equipment needed.  The software supports every step of the pedicle screw placement workflow: 3D imaging and planning, laser-guided trajectory visualization, real-time progression view, and immediate intraoperative 3D confirmation.

    Review the clinical evidence

    Using image guidance for minimally invasive spinal fusion may help you work with greater precision and reduce the surgical revision rate.

    In combination with optical navigation, image-guided spine surgery with ARTIS pheno helps reduce the revision rate for minimally invasive spinal fusion procedures to less than 1%.

    Lower revision rate for spinal fusion

    Incorrectly placed implants negatively affect procedural outcomes and frequently require the patient to undergo another surgery. Access to high-quality intraoperative 2D and 3D imaging in the Hybrid OR helps you overcome this challenge. Studies show that using ARTIS pheno in combination with optical navigation can drive the revision rate for spinal fusion below 1%.2
