Medtronic, Inc. and Breakaway Imaging, LLC, a privately held developer of medical imaging systems for surgery, announced an agreement that grants exclusive worldwide distribution and marketing of Breakaway Imaging's O-arm(TM) Imaging System, an intraoperative crossover technology enabling two-dimensional (2-D) (fluoroscopy), multi-plane 2-D, and three-dimensional (3-D) volumetric imaging system, to Medtronic Navigation. The agreement is effective immediately. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The O-arm Imaging System provides complete multi-dimensional surgical imaging. It is the only approved platform that provides surgeons with real-time, 3-D images, as well as multi-plane, 2-D and fluoroscopic imaging. Initially intended for use in orthopedic surgical procedures, the O-arm Imaging System is designed to expand to additional surgical applications such as image-guided surgery. The O-arm Imaging System received FDA clearance this year.
"Computer-assisted surgical (CAS) navigation is a cornerstone for growth for many minimally
invasive procedures and future biologic delivery," said Pete Wehrly, vice president and president of Medtronic Spinal and Navigation. "Adding the O-arm to the Medtronic offering allows us to provide a complete, seamless solution for surgeons who rely on our technology to provide integrated imaging and CAS navigation. This collaboration represents a significant opportunity to bring innovative technologies that not only enable new procedures, but also enhance operating room efficiencies and possibly improve patient outcomes."
The O-arm system, with patented breakable gantry and flat screen detector that enable it to collect 2-D or 3-D volumetric imaging within seconds, is designed specifically for use by surgeons in standard operating rooms while yielding high-quality imaging comparable to fixed CT systems.
Electromechanical features enable repeatable positioning of the gantry between imaging shots and an unobtrusive location to permit unrestricted patient access.
"The O-arm is the first x-ray based innovation in surgical imaging since the introduction of the C-arm," said Rich Grant, president, chief executive officer and co-founder of Breakaway Imaging. "By joining forces with a leader in CAS navigation and instrumentation, we are now able to bring this important technology to more surgeons than ever before, giving them access to a full complement of visualization tools and implants from one company."
