  • Mounted patient tracking component for surgical navigation system
    Patent number: 10888382
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a processing assembly, a plurality of field generators, and a patient tracking assembly. The patient tracking assembly includes a sensor assembly and a communication assembly. The sensor assembly includes a first body, a first sensor, and an electrical conduit. The first body selectively attaches to a patient. The first sensor is mounted to the first body and generates a signal in response to movement within an electromagnetic field. The communication assembly includes a second body and a cable. The second body rotates relative to the first body from a first rotational position to a second rotational position. The cable extends away from the second body. The cable communicates with the processing assembly. The electrical conduit couples the first sensor with the cable while the casing is in the first rotational position and the second rotational position.
