7D Surgical received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Cranial Module, a step toward launching the company's Machine-vision Image Guided Surgery system for cranial surgery throughout the U.S., according to Markets Insider.
The surgery system uses new camera-based technology and machine vision algorithms to eliminate frustrations associated with long-standing surgical navigational platforms. The technology can acquire hundreds of thousands of virtual fiducials using the patient's anatomy, creating a nearly instantaneous cranial registration in almost any surgical position.
7D Surgical is a privately owned company in Toronto that develops advanced optical technology and machine vision-based registration algorithms for improved surgical workflow and patient care.
