A non-radiation-based surgical navigation system for minimally invasive surgery, IOPS leverages anatomical mapping algorithms and electromagnetic tracking technology to provide three-dimensional color visualization and guidance in real time during endovascular procedures. The system, developed at Cleveland Clinic’s Heart and Vascular Institute, addresses the need for a path away from X-ray fluoroscopy which is currently the standard of care, despite severe visualization challenges.
“To date, Cleveland Clinic has partnered with some 87 companies; among these, Centerline has been particularly rewarding and we are very excited about them having received 510(k) clearance. Most certainly as partners, shareholders, and prospective customers, we at Cleveland Clinic look forward to continuing support of the exciting research and commercialization efforts of this rapidly growing company,” stated Jim Zalar, General Manager of Business Solutions at Cleveland Clinic Innovations and Cleveland Clinic’s appointee to the company’s Board of Directors.
Once in the market, Centerline hopes to show significant value to the technology by reducing procedure cost while improving radiation safety and patient outcomes.
