Stealth Autoguide from Medtronic
Medtronic has introduced its new neurosurgical robot, the Stealth Autoguide system, which is now FDA cleared.
"Stealth Autoguide cranial robotic guidance platform accurately aligns to your surgical plans for cranial procedures.
- Continuous real-time visualization, feedback, and robotically-assisted movement allows you to quickly and accurately align to your surgical plans for cranial procedures.
- Seamlessly integrating with your StealthStation system and Midas Rex drill technology, the innovative Stealth Autoguide™ strives to improve your workflow efficiency with a minimal footprint in your O.R."
"The Stealth Autoguide Platform is a robotic guidance system intended for
the spatial positioning and orientation of instrument holders or tool
guides used in neurosurgical procedures.
The Stealth Autoguide Platform is cleared for biopsy procedures, stereo electroencephalography (sEEG) depth electrode placement, and for the positioning of the Visualase bone anchor, which is used for catheter placement. These solutions are part of the company’s market-leading Surgical Synergy platform, which integrates Medtronic technologies to create consistent, predictable, and reproducible procedures.
"Medtronic continues to deliver on its commitment of developing innovative technologies that helps physicians seamlessly provide high-quality care for cranial and other procedures," said P. David Adelson, division chief of Neurosurgery and director of Barrow Neurological Institute at Phoenix Children’s Hospital. "The precision provided by the Stealth Autoguide system will help my clinical team accomplish unique surgical scenarios with increased accuracy.”
Stealth Autoguide system integrates with StealthStation Image Guidance systems and the Midas Rex high-speed surgical drill platform. The navigation software optimizes the surgical workflow, providing continuous real-time navigation and visual feedback on the robotic alignment for improved efficiency. The system provides visualization throughout the entire procedure, even while drilling, with the ability to drill on the axis of a surgical plan.
“The Stealth Autoguide Platform provides surgeons and operating room staff with robotic-assisted positioning and trajectory guidance for cranial procedures confirming consistent, repeatable, and accurate alignment to their surgical plans,” said Dave Anderson, vice president and general manager, Enabling Technologies, which is part of the Restorative Therapies Group at Medtronic. “The Stealth Autoguide Platform showcases Medtronic’s commitment to advancing care and delivering the best outcomes to the most patients possible through our Surgical Synergy platform.” "

The technology may seem familir - for a good reason! It is the iSYS robot from Interventional Systems. Joint development started many years ago, and back in September 2018 Medtronic acquired MGS GmbH, a 100% daughter of ISYS Medizintechnik GmbH.
Cooperation deal done. In September 2018 one of the biggest players in neurosurgery acquires MGS GmbH, a 100% daughter of iSYS Medizintechnik GmbH. The story of success for this cooperation started in 2014 with talks between iSYS Medizintechnik GmbH and one of the biggest Players in neurosurgery. In January 2016 the MGS GmbH was incorporated and the development of Little Cranial Robot started.
Dr. Michael Vogele, CEO of iSYS Medizintechnik GmbH, about this deal: "For the reputation of ISYS Medizintechnik it was an excellent move and door opener to new partnerships and finance possibilities. It will sustainably improve the use of robotic solutions in standard surgical procedures."
