Pixee Medical, a company that develops augmented surgical guidance technology, has announced surgeons have successfully performed the world’s first shoulder implant surgery using its cutting-edge mixed reality (MR) Shoulder+ product. This product can help to reduce the risk of complications such as implant malposition and revision surgery.
Shoulder+ is a navigation tool that uses MR glasses to provide surgeons with precise real-time information about the 3D positioning of the implant during surgery. This information is overlaid on the patient’s field of view, allowing surgeons to see the bones through the skin and enhance their operational precision.
The Shoulder+ system has achieved the CE marking and has a pending FDA 510(k) clearance. This means that it has met the standards set by the European Union and the United States for medical devices.
Pixee Medical is now embarking on a limited release phase of Shoulder+. The product will be unveiled at the upcoming ICSES congress in Rome, and Pixee Medical is actively engaging in discussions with distributors and implant manufacturers.
