SeaSpine Holdings Corporation announced the full commercial launch of the 7D FLASH™ Navigation System Percutaneous Spine Module. The release of the Percutaneous Module represents a new application and increased functionality for its 7D FLASH Navigation System, which now allows SeaSpine to further penetrate the minimally invasive spine surgery market, which SeaSpine estimates at approximately $4 billion worldwide. The 7D FLASH Navigation System uses visible light to create a three-dimensional image for surgical navigation in just seconds, which is expected to result in shorter and more efficient spinal procedures.

It is the only marketed image-guidance system that utilizes novel and proprietary camera-based technology, coupled with machine-vision algorithms, to eliminate the long-standing frustrations with legacy surgical navigation platforms. The speed, accuracy, and efficiency of machine-vision technology is intended to provide significant economic value, lower radiation for staff and patients in open procedures, and harnesses the true potential of image-guided navigation – providing a truly unique offering for both open and minimally invasive spine procedures.
