Cirq®

May 21, 2016 By SPINEMarketGroup

Cirq®, a universal platform for robotic tasks, serving a range of neurosurgical indications. Compact Cirq spinal module simplifies spinal fusion procedures by allowing the surgeon to focus first on alignment. Once Cirq is locked firmly in place, surgeons are free to focus on subsequent surgical steps with both hands. The seamless workflow with navigation-ready instruments saves valuable time in the O.R.

Revolutionary Design

Inspired by the form of the human arm, Cirq is a reliable and intuitive assistant during surgical procedures. After quick setup, highly adaptable Cirq can be aligned in seven degrees of freedom for maximum positioning flexibility. While communication and control is at the core of the base arm, the attachable modules provide indication-specific support.

  • Portable, light-weight design (approx. 11kg)
  • Mounted directly to the O.R. table rail
  • Fully integrated computer unit with no footprint
  • Port for different application-specific modules

Spinal Surgery Support

The compact Cirq spinal module simplifies spinal fusion procedures by allowing the surgeon to focus first on alignment. Once Cirq is locked firmly in place, surgeons are free to focus on subsequent surgical steps with both hands. The seamless workflow with navigation-ready instruments saves valuable time in the O.R.

  • Includes tissue protecting trocars for MIS access
  • Secure drill tube stabilization with sharp teeth for anchoring on the bone
  • Full drilling guidance with easy snap-on depth-control
  • Vendor-neutral concept compatible with multiple implant sets

Future-Proof Modularity

Cost-effective Cirq robotics instantly adds value to existing Brainlab navigation systems. Navigation integration leverages established workflows, set-ups and instrumentation, and extends utilization. The combination of a base arm and attachable “hand” modules makes Cirq robotics scalable and future-proof.

  • Compatible with Kick® and Curve™ navigation platforms
  • Ideal in combination with intraoperative imaging such as Airo®
  • Features software for setup guidance and target alignment
  • Takes advantage of Elements planning applications

About Brainlab

Brainlab was founded by CEO Stefan Vilsmeier in Munich in 1989. What has become a lifelong quest for innovation in healthcare began as a mouse-controlled, menu-driven surgical planning and navigation software program.

Brainlab is first and foremost a software company with applications ranging from patient positioning in radiosurgery treatments to software-guided surgical navigation to cloud-based solutions that facilitate the secure exchange of medical images.

Over the years, the development of hardware systems became crucial to the Brainlab portfolio. Advanced hardware expands the possibilities of treatment and facilitates and effectively delivers Brainlab software innovation across numerous fields: oncology, specifically radiotherapy and radiosurgery; image-guided surgery, specifically, craniomaxillofacial (CMF), ENT, orthopedic, spine, trauma, and neurosurgery; intraoperative imaging; integrated operating room solutions as well as image sharing and enhancement.

Fueled by the drive to increase access to and consistency of treatment, Brainlab focuses on boosting cancer survivorship by developing new and minimally invasive methods to treat cancers of the brain and body and increase patient comfort during treatment. With the launch of Brainlab.org, the company is seeking to make medical technology more understandable and accessible for patients and caregivers everywhere.
