NDI Navigation Markers – Detect OEM Instruments With Pinpoint Accuracy

Navigation markers are a key component of the Polaris® optical measurement solution. When attached to OEM instruments, navigation markers function as triangulation points for the instrument within the treatment space. This is due to the marker’s unique retro-reflective surface, which allows the Polaris optical tracker to ‘see’ it during tracking. The navigation marker and the Polaris optical tracker work together to localize, detect, and track OEM instruments with pinpoint accuracy.

Polaris Vega®

Northern Digital Inc.

The Polaris Vega® optical measurement solution has three models of optical trackers that can be integrated into the workflow of OEM surgical navigation systems: the Polaris Vega XT, Polaris Vega VT, and Polaris Vega ST. All three Polaris Vega models share a common optical measurement technology platform, using near-infrared (IR) light to track the real-time positions of OEM surgical instruments via attached navigation markers. Tracking occurs wirelessly over a large measurement volume.

Polaris Vicra®

Northern Digital Inc.

The Polaris Vicra® shares the same trusted measurement performance as all Polaris optical trackers, but in a smaller form factor. Its compact size can allow medical device OEMs to integrate the Polaris Vicra into surgical workflows that require smaller instruments and where equipment or operative space is limited.

Polaris Tools And Accessories

Northern Digital Inc.

The Polaris® optical measurement solution is designed with accuracy, reliability, and versatility in mind. Versatility is delivered in part by NDI software packages and developer tools that are available to enhance OEM application development and system customization. The Polaris solution consists of an optical tracker and navigation markers, the latter of which must be attached to a rigid body; i.e. a tool that is rigid in form to prevent unwanted marker movement. The Polaris solution requires three or more markers to be attached to the rigid body tool, the geometry (configuration) of which is unique to each tool.
