DELIVERING WHAT'S NEXT
PathKeeper's system provides surgeons with perpetual guidance throughout the surgery. Its patented-pending spine navigation technology yields high levels of surgical accuracy, guiding physicians to the pre-planned surgical implant placement and aiming to reduce the margin of error. It offers a radiation-free theater which is safer for both the surgical staff and patient.
The system possesses a highly mobile design for smooth transitioning between operating rooms and clinics and its competitive pricing makes it a viable alternative for any sized medical institution.
RADIATION-FREE INTRAOPERATIVELY
RADIATION-FREE INTRAOPERATIVELY
Ionizing radiation during spinal surgery is a primary concern that affects the health and safety of both the medical staff and the patient. Todays commonly used “free-hand” technique requires repeated fluoroscopy imaging to estimate the location and trajectory of the surgical screws. Similarly, almost all navigation systems require multiple C-Arm images and/or CT/3D fluoro scans to guide the surgeon.
PathKeeper’s solution uses only a preoperative CT scan, thus offering a completely safe and radiation-free operating environment.
SURGERY PLANNING
Surgery planning has been proven to improve clinical outcomes in spine surgery, however, it has received limited adoption due to the complexity and limitations of current systems. PathKeeper’s proprietary algorithms allow for a surgery planning platform that is easy to learn and operate.
The platform additionally supports common resources used by hospitals to ensure easy and smooth integration.

RAPID ANATOMICAL POSITION UPDATING
RAPID ANATOMICAL POSITION UPDATING
PathKeeper’s patent-pending rapid anatomical position updating technology uses a preoperative CT scan to obtain the patient’s anatomy in 3D. It then integrates intraoperative images from the 3D camera and proprietary software to adjust the anatomical map on-demand. Anatomical movement is accounted for by the system. The surgeon can thus re-register quickly to ensure the high level of accuracy is maintained.
HIGH ACCURACY
MOBILE
The PathKeeper system has been designed ergonomically with a small form factor for easy mobility. The lightweight system does not hinder the surgical staff throughout the procedure and can be easily maneuvered within the operating room or transferred between sites. As intraoperative radiation is not required for the PathKeeper system’s functionality, there is no need for a CT scanner in the operating room which frees up even more space for the surgical staff.
HIGH ACCURACY
PathKeeper’s proprietary ultra-high resolution laser-technology based camera enables very high levels of accuracy. The technology swiftly updates vertebral position on-demand without additional ionizing radiation intraoperatively, correcting for patient or reference frame movement and surgeon manipulation by a click of a button. As a result, physicians can precisely track surgical tools and place implants accurately and safely.
