GuideMax Surgical Navigation System

GuideMax is an intraoperative surgical navigation system developed by Saturn Imaging of Taiwan. Designed to assist physicians during minimally invasive procedures, the system provides real-time guidance to help surgeons confirm optimal positioning without requiring continuous monitor observation during surgery.

Product Overview

GuideMax addresses a practical challenge in navigation-assisted surgery: the need for surgeons to divide attention between the surgical field and display screens showing navigation data. By incorporating a patented laser guidance module, GuideMax projects positioning information directly into the surgical workspace, allowing clinicians to maintain focus on the patient while receiving navigational feedback.

The system is intended for use across various minimally invasive surgical applications where precise instrument positioning and trajectory control are essential for clinical outcomes.

Key Features

Patented Laser Guidance Module: Projects navigation information directly onto the surgical field, reducing the need to look away from the patient to check monitor displays.

Real-Time Position Confirmation: Provides continuous feedback on instrument location relative to preoperative planning data during the procedure.

Minimally Invasive Focus: Designed specifically to support surgical workflows in minimally invasive procedures where visual access is limited.

Surgeon-Centric Workflow: The laser projection approach accommodates traditional surgical habits, minimizing the learning curve associated with screen-based navigation systems.

Technical Specifications

Approved under TFDA license 衛部醫器製壹字第005307號, GuideMax combines a patented laser projection module with real-time intraoperative navigation for minimally invasive procedures.

Clinical Applications

GuideMax supports minimally invasive surgical procedures where accurate instrument positioning impacts clinical outcomes. The system’s laser guidance approach is particularly suited for scenarios where surgeons need to maintain visual focus on the surgical field while receiving positioning feedback.

Potential applications include:

• Procedures requiring precise trajectory alignment
• Cases where anatomical landmarks are limited
• Situations demanding real-time position verification
• Surgeries where traditional screen monitoring disrupts workflow
