Medtronic Suretrak 2 Instrument Tracking System Advanced Surgical Navigation Accessory for StealthStation®

Medtronic SureTrak Instrument Tracking System

The Medtronic SureTrak Instrument Tracking System is an advanced surgical navigation accessory engineered for precision, reliability, and compatibility with Medtronic’s StealthStation navigation platform. Designed to provide real-time tracking of surgical instruments, SureTrak enhances accuracy during both open and minimally invasive neurosurgical, cranial, and spinal procedures. 

Key Features & Benefits

Precision Instrument Tracking: Attaches to surgical tools using reflective sphere arrays (“fighters”) enabling optical or electromagnetic (EM) tracking to visualize instrument tip location in real time relative to patient anatomy. 

Enhanced Surgical Accuracy: Improves targeting of anatomical structures, reducing risk of error during delicate neurosurgical and spinal operations.

Compatibility & Flexibility: Works seamlessly with the Medtronic StealthStation navigation system and integrates smoothly with other navigation-ready instruments via universal adapters. 

Multiple Sizes & Configurations: Offers different passive tracking array sizes (small, medium, large) and mounting clamps to accommodate various instrument types and surgical needs. 

Sterilizable Design & Durable Case: Supplied non-sterile; comes with a dedicated sterilization case for readiness and portability, allowing for reliable usage in operating room settings.

Indications & Use

Specifically intended as an aid in locating anatomical structures during surgical procedures on the brain, spine, and other rigid anatomical regions. 

Applicable in both open and minimally invasive approaches where high resolution, real-time instrument navigation is required. 

Why Choose SureTrak

Safety & Confidence: Surgeons gain improved confidence in anatomical orientation—particularly in complex regions—by tracking instruments directly relative to patient imaging data.

Workflow Efficiency: Reduces need for guesswork; improves intraoperative decision-making and may reduce procedure times and complications.

Proven Technology: Built on Medtronic’s established StealthStation ecosystem, which has decades of development, clinical validation, and refinement.
