Irvine, Calif. — joimax^®, the Germany-based market leader of technologies and training methods for full-endoscopic spinal surgery, introduces another minimally invasive device, Intracs^{® em} Electromagnetic Navigation System, at two global spine events: EUROSPINE Barcelona, the Spine Society of Europe’s annual conference and expo (September 19-21), and NASS 2018, the North American Spine Society premier meeting in Los Angeles (September 24-28).

Intracs^{® em}

Electromagnetic Navigation System

Intracs^{® em} relies on electromagnetic tracking and is specifically designed for simple and safe access to any spinal target. For exceptional accuracy, the instruments are vector-guided directly at the tip; therefore, bending of needles or other pliant instruments will not affect the navigation’s precision. The new smart and user-friendly system can serve as a stand-alone device, or be completely integrated with the joimax^® Endoscopic Tower. It is the only system on the market which allows for simultaneous navigation of multiple instruments such as needles, guiding rods, reamers, and endoscopes; developed by joimax^®.

The full European product launch is scheduled for Q4 2018. The global launch, including the United States, will be rolled out in the beginning of 2019.
