  • Systems and methods for facilitating surgical procedures
    Patent number: 10406054
    Abstract: The present subject disclosure provides a novel system and method of maintaining a patient in an optimal position for spinal or other surgeries where the position of the patient and access to the surgical site may be very helpful. Further, neurophysiological data is obtained from the patient in real time through sensors on the patient contacting platforms and relayed to a system which determines whether the patient position should be moved to maintain optimal and viability health during the procedure.
