Medtronic plc announced the first U.S. patients treated with the Mazor X Stealth(TM) Edition for spine surgery following its recent commercial launch. The Mazor X Stealth Edition offers a fully-integrated procedural solution for surgical planning, workflow, execution and confirmation. The system was first used at Norton Healthcare in Louisville, Ky., and Reston Hospital Center in Reston, Va. Co-developed between Medtronic and the recently acquired Mazor Robotics, the Mazor X Stealth Edition seamlessly incorporates Stealth(TM) software technology into the Mazor X(TM) robotic-assisted surgery platform to deliver workflow predictability and flexibility through real-time image guidance, visualization and navigation informed by interactive 3-D planning and information systems. The Mazor X Stealth Edition was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2018. The system is available in the U.S. and is expected to launch in key regions throughout the year.
