About Brainlab

At Brainlab, we are dedicated first and foremost to people. To that end, we focus on the development of high technology products that help forge a global medical standard and advance health care.

Our goals are unswerving—to provide the best possible technology to benefit patients worldwide, and to develop the highest quality products and services to satisfy the needs and exceed the expectations of our customers. To achieve this, we have assembled an organization of professionals who believe that the pursuit of excellence has no finish line.

Brainlab creates and integrates products for various stages and phases of the surgical procedure, from software for pre-planning, to software and systems for surgical navigation, to data management and manipulation, and intraoperative imaging and surgical follow-up. This integration helps clinicians fully leverage patient data in an era in which data is continuously growing in volume and complexity.

Over the years, the development of hardware systems became crucial to the Brainlab portfolio. Advanced hardware expands the possibilities of treatment and facilitates and effectively delivers Brainlab software innovation across numerous fields: oncology, specifically radiotherapy and radiosurgery; image-guided surgery, specifically, craniomaxillofacial (CMF), ENT, spine, trauma, and neurosurgery; intraoperative imaging; integrated operating room solutions as well as image sharing and enhancement.

Fueled by the drive to increase access to and consistency of treatment, Brainlab focuses on boosting cancer survivorship by developing new and minimally invasive methods to treat cancers of the brain and body and increase patient comfort during treatment. With the launch of Brainlab.org, the company is seeking to make medical technology more understandable and accessible for patients and caregivers everywhere.

Airo

Airo provides full Hounsfield soft tissue imaging that offers better definition for the spine. This expands clinical decision-making for cranial and other surgical procedures as well. The scan volume of D 50 x 100cm allows surgeons to image the entire spine in a single scan and to visualize more anatomical context than 3D C-arms.

Get clarity with Airo.

Innovative design intelligently combines the largest gantry opening on the market with a slim gantry and small footprint. The gantry houses custom components including an X-Ray tube, 32-slice helical scan detector array, high-voltage generator, air-cooling system and built-in battery pack.

Total integration of the TRUMPF TruSystem 7500 table column offers fixed correlation between patient and scanner resulting in reproducible imaging. The TRUMPF TruSystem 7500 offers all the radiolucent accessories and capabilities affiliated with a high-end established surgical table system.

Suspension-controlled, the Airo electrical drive system features a solo central wheel for compact maneuvering.Equipped with user-friendly control software, even one person can easily move Airo from O.R. to O.R. The front-view safety camera ensures stress-free portability.

The compact Airo system pendant controls everything. During procedures, surgeons and staff program imaging with laser alignment and dose display from the detachable and user-friendly Airo touch screen.

Movement and maintenance are also swift and steady with the Airo handheld system controller commanding transport, daily calibration and system maintenance.

Fully adaptable, Airo moves into a variety of procedural setups for cranial, spine
and trauma cases.

The extra-large gantry opening expands intraoperative surgical value and even accommodates spinal positioning frames.

Seamless Viewing. Improved Ergonomics.

Freedom of Choice

The way microscopes are used in the O.R. is in transition: Brainlab accommodates neurosurgeons’ needs in both the traditional approach of looking through the ocular as well as the more recent utilization of exoscope video images displayed on a dedicated screen. Reflective markers attached to the microscope enable visual tracking of optical axis and focal point. Combined with the new robotic capabilities of microscopes, navigation now plays an indispensable role in performing state-of-the-art surgeries.

Auto-detection of connected microscope minimizes setup effort

Seamless integration with Brainlab Cranial and Spine Navigation software

Support of all major vendors of surgical microscopes

Maintain Accuracy

In order to maintain navigation accuracy, especially after craniotomy, anatomy shift can now be visualized by comparing vessels on the cortex with their corresponding MIP. Patient registration is then updated through touch-based matching of vessels and MIP on the navigation screen.

Correct initial patient registration based on anatomical landmarks

Adjustable windowing to ensure clear MIP

Repeated update possible whenever required and feasible

Informed Decisions. Increased Confidence.

Brainlab offers automatic MRI registration for tumor resection with instant verification

Instant Resection Verification

Brainlab Automatic Image Registration (AIR) is the fundamental technology for high-precision surgical navigation from start to finish. AIR adds intraoperatively acquired MR images to surgical navigation while maintaining the preoperative surgical plan. This updated registration compensates for potential loss of navigation accuracy during surgery.

Integrated MR data transfer and automatic marker detection eliminates need to access anatomical landmarks
Fast and accurate image registration allows for immediate quality control and navigation on up-to-date images

Automatic Registration Hardware

Brainlab AIR integrates intraoperative MRI and navigation for more informed decision-making while maintaining system integrity. Full integration of MRI and O.R. tables from various manufacturers offers hospitals maximum flexibility and workflow efficiency in cranial procedures. The Brainlab registration matrix with integrated MR markers is designed for use with a 3-pin skull clamp and therefore does not compromise standard patient positioning.

Simplified registration matrix design for uncomplicated setup
Location of matrix below patient head and near isocenter improves registration accuracy
Compatible exclusively with DORO LUCENT® iMRI Headrest System by pro med instruments, a part of the Black Forest Medical Group
Compatible with state-of-the-art MRI scanners and O.R. tables

O.R. Information & Control Center

Buzz Digital O.R. routes, displays, streams, records and enhances medical images, software content and videos. Designed to be an open platform central information hub with a user-friendly multi touch screen, Buzz is prepped for every O.R.

Seamless integration with Brainlab planning and navigation
Easy data handling and documentation through direct HIS and PACS connection
Displays and controls data and video sources
Enables network-based routing of video and software content on multiple displays
