The “Operating Room of the Future” at St. Olavs Hospital intends to enter into a contract with Ortomedic AS (organisation No. 938 99 8582) for the procurement and upgrade of the current navigation system for research and development of the research infrastructure “Operating Room of the Future” (FOR-NorMIT Norwegian Centre for minimally invasive image guided therapy and medical technologies) at St Olavs Hospital.
The “Operating Room of the Future”at St. Olavs Hospital intends to enter into a contract with Ortomedic AS (organisation No. 938 99 8582) for the procurement and upgrade of the current navigation system for research and development of the research infrastructure “Operating Room of the Future” (FOR-NorMIT Norwegian Centre for minimally invasive image guided therapy and medical technologies) at St. Olavs Hospital.
Ortomedic is the distributor and Brainlab is the developer and manufacturer. The development work will be carried out in close cooperation with NOR-NorMIT through several research projects.
The procurement is based on 3 previous systems/procured from a research contract that exists between NOR-NorMIT and Brainlab for the development of navigation technology for cluster headaches using Multiguide, which is used to determine the demarcation of the pharynx that is not visible by scope, in order to take samples or drain them, inject therapeutic medicaments in structures that lie so deep that they are not available and research and innovation, a previously new instrument for which a patent has been applied for (Multiguide Prototype) in order to take samples of growths and inject botox in a ganglion behind the jaw sinus and the eye during headaches.
The 2 other systems are related to research and development in ENT with advanced cancer surgery and Neurosurgery with advanced neck surgery. The systems are currently at FOR-NorMIT and used for research that includes patients from St. Olavs Hospital. Are currently available through FOR-NorMIT and they are part of the national infrastructure with the main goal of research and development of new treatment methods within minimally invasive surgery, image guided, where the development of advanced surgery visualisation and navigation is the main aim.
We are now carrying out an upgrade based on the first 3, with a focus on multiple research projects in connection with developments in neurosurgery. The system that we are now upgrading is provisionally the only one that is compatible with the other system and Multiguide, for which a virtual leveling station was procured for the pre-qualification of CT and MR pictures, which form the basis for the navigation done within the areas we are now developing. This upgrade is an upgrade of the entire system, where the existing software and instruments will be transferred to the upgraded system. The system currently has the only navigation technology that can digitally integrate the existing BK5000 ultrasound system, and has deep integration, with pre-calibrated probes, and the possibility of 3D footage, where new datasets are made, with axial coronal sagital ACS reconstruction.
In the long term the aim is that the development that is now being carried out via FOR-NorMIT and the collaboration with Brainlab, shall lead to better technology that gives more areas of use within surgery. Navigation will give better patient safety, as well as lead to a reduction of radiation in and during surgical procedures.
