  • Medical clamp, in particular spinal clamp, device for providing a reference position and method for determining a reference position
    Patent number: 8323295
    Abstract: A medical clamp, in particular a spinal clamp, includes two clamp limbs connected to a grip part. The grip part executes a clamping movement of the clamp limbs and the clamp limbs are connected to the grip part in a releasable manner. The clamp permits particularly safe, minimally invasive percutaneous interventions, especially in the area of the spinal column. A device for using a medical clamp for providing a reference position for a positioning system for percutaneous interventions and a method for determining a reference position for a positioning system for percutaneous interventions, are also provided.

  • MEDICAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE OPERATION THEREOF
    Publication number: 20110251625
    Abstract: In a medical navigation system and an operating method therefor, a navigation device, having a field of view, detects a position indicator attached to a subject within the navigation field of view, and the navigation device, and thus the navigation field of view, are varied in position by a motorized drive connected to the navigation device. The current attitude of the navigation device and the position indicator are detected, and based on this detection, the motorized drive is operated and controlled so as to always maintain the position indicator within the navigation field of view of the navigation device.
