Planning and Navigation Systems

The main components of our DBS planning systems include FrameLink™ and StealthMerge™ integrated planning and navigation applications.*

FrameLink Software

The FrameLink™ Stereotactic Linking System* integrates multiple patient data sets with state-of-the-art planning and navigation capabilities.

StealthMerge Software

The StealthMerge™ application enables clinicians to correlate numerous patient data sets with precision. Image data from a variety of imaging modalities can be automatically and simultaneously merged.

*The Medtronic FrameLink and StealthMerge applications should be used only by qualified medical professionals who have been thoroughly trained and are experienced in their use. The Medtronic FrameLink and StealthMerge applications should be used only as adjuncts for surgical guidance, and do not replace surgeon knowledge, expertise, or judgment.

Stereotactic Systems

The central components of the Medtronic Stereotactic System include the Nexframe^® stereotactic system and the Nexdrive™ Micropositioner, in addition to several surgical accessories.

Nexframe

When fully integrated with our planning software, the Nexframe frameless stereotactic system helps operating room efficiency by reducing procedure time. It also offers patients comfort and freedom of movement during the implant procedure.

Nexdrive

This micropositioner is a sterile all-in-one microdrive for DBS lead implantation and microelectrode recording. It features a simplified interface for microelectrode recording, and is easily calibrated.

Passive Headrest

This headrest with full head and neck support enhances patient comfort and tolerance through lengthy surgeries. Open access and simplified draping further support the patient experience.

Unibody Bone Fiducials

The Unibody™ bone fiducials enable image-guided stereotactic procedures. By providing rigid localization points to cranial bone. The fiducials may remain implanted for up to 30 days to allow ongoing advanced stereotactic CT imaging for image-guided approaches.

Battery-powered Driver

This driver helps reduce the time and fatigue associated with implanting cranial screws.

Small Passive Frame

An alternative to active instruments and frames, this frame allows easy-to-use wireless tracking.

Passive Reflective Markers

These reflective markers enable pre-surgical registration and intra-operative guidance to localize appropriate target and trajectory.

Intra-Operative Navigation and Recording Systems

Medtronic provides intra-operative navigation and recording systems that offer precise localization of the physiological target. Our versatile microdrive options enable exact positioning of micro-recording electrodes and DBS leads.

microTargeting Drive

This versatile drive supports precise positioning of up to 5 simultaneous microTargeting Electrodes, as well as placement of Medtronic DBS leads.

microTargeting Electrodes, Cables and Insertion Tubes

These electrodes, cables, and insertion tubes are designed to provide single-unit neural activity for functional neurosurgery procedures.

Leadpoint 4

This portable, laptop-based, intra-operative microelectrode recording system provides precise localization of the physiological target.
