The 3D C-Arm navigation assists surgeons during spine and trauma procedures by providing real-time navigation of intra-operative 3D datasets which are also ideal for less-invasive and complex surgery. The surgeon’s use of the software results in more accurate screw placement which helps reduce reoperation rates and post-surgical fractures. In addition, the 3D C-Arm reduces radiation exposure to the patient and surgical team.

“We want to remain at the forefront of providing our patients clinically proven, cutting-edge surgical care and we believe that Brainlab’s technology enables us to do that,” said Fred Hunter, President and CEO of Marina Del Rey Hospital.
