Electromagnetic surgical navigation device tracking systems assist surgeons by providing real-time spatial guidance during procedures. These systems use electromagnetic fields to track surgical instruments relative to pre-loaded imaging data (like CT or MRI scans) or live imaging (such as ultrasound), enabling precise navigation for tasks like tumour removal, bone drilling, or vascular access in surgeries across specialties like ENT or orthopaedics.
These systems are typically regulated as medical devices, with components like sensors, generators, and software often classified based on their intended use and risk level. They are commonly supplied as integrated kits, including hardware (trackers, instruments) and software for planning and navigation, though individual components may also be sold separately depending on the manufacturer’s design.
