Description

Medtronic has developed and sold various products specialized for ENT surgeries for many years. This time we describe our new product, Fusion® ENT navigation system, releasing on December 2012.<br>　We have already introduced hybrid optical-electromagnetic navigation system called “Stealth Station S7®”. Fusion system employs only electromagnetic navigation system dedicated for ENT department and is very simple to use.<br> 　The electromagnetic navigation system generates a low-energy magnetic field and tracks the location of the patient and instruments with dedicated trackers. Because of this mechanism, Fusion system makes it possible to control instruments more freely compare to optical navigation system. Furthermore the tracker is smaller and lighter so that surgeons and the patients feel less stress during the surgery.<br> 　Fusion system attracts increasing attention and has already been installed over 1,000 in the world.<br> 　We will keep developing less invasive and more user-and patient-friendly products for the future.
