Advanced Augmented Reality System to Transform Spine Surgery

OnPoint Surgical (Concord, MA, USA) is transforming spinal surgery with its AR and Artificial Intelligence (AR-AI) platform with current and future applications in pedicle screw and interbody device placements, spinal deformity correction, and minimally invasive procedures. The platform overlays virtual surgical guides and implants onto the patient’s spine, viewed directly by the surgeon through ultra-light, high-resolution see-through optical headsets. The technology enhances surgical accuracy, increases efficiency, and saves time. OnPoint’s AR system is not only useful for manual surgery but also paves the way for the next generation of robotic systems, integrating optics with or without haptics.

The system can display virtual spinal rods via AR, allowing the surgeon to adjust the shape of pre-existing rods during surgery based on real-time conditions and desired corrections. This capability significantly improves clinical performance and workflow, offering time savings during minimally invasive procedures. Furthermore, OnPoint technology can achieve outcomes with standard spinal rods that were once only possible with expensive custom rods. OnPoint’s technology is versatile, applicable across various spinal, neurosurgical, orthopedic, and arthroscopic surgeries, and is being expanded to new applications and indications.
