Electromagnetic navigation system for endoscopic minimally invasive spine surgery
Integrated Navigation Tracking & Control System
Electromagnetic Navigation – intuitive and safe
Intracs® em – The smart navigation system is based on electromagnetic tracking. Navigating the sensor tip makes it particularly suitable for an easy and safe access to any spinal target. To reach outstanding accuracy, the instruments are tracked directly at the tip. Therefore, bending of needles or other slightly flexible instruments will not affect the precision of the navigation.
This unique technology has been tested to the highest standards and is approved for both the CE and US markets.
- Intracs® em Navigation System can be integrated in the joimax® Endoscopic Tower or used as a stand-alone solution.
- Existing installations can be easily upgraded.
- The high-quality medical grade PC with 22“ touch display is completely sealed and, therefore, easy to clean and disinfect.
- The Intracs® em Field Generator is mounted onto the specially designed Intracs® em Mounting Arm.
- Most of the joimax® instruments are navigated with highest accuracy through various Intracs® em sensors. As a result, the procedure can be carried out without constant X-ray control. Intervention time and radiation exposure are drastically reduced.

Patient Mapper
The Patient Mapper allows the registration of the real patient anatomy into the virtual environment of the navigation system, regardless of the C-arm model.
Guiding Rod Navi
Patient Tracker + Registration Tool
The position of the patient can be determined at any time via the Patient Tracker. In addition, the Patient Tracker allows selection and registration of instruments within the sterile environmen
Sensor Clip for reamer navigation
Intracs® em Workflow
The instrument registration takes place automatically within the sterile patient environment. All steps are carefully described and monitored.
The navigated instruments, such as a needle or endoscope, are detected automatically and registered without any additional tools.
Step 2 – Patient registration
Automatic C-arm detection ensures accurate patient registration
Step 3 – Automatic calculation of registration accuracy
Patient registration via X-ray
Error: mean: 0.2 mm, max: 0.3 mm
