FIREFLY® Technology

Navigation Guidance Platform

Mighty Oak Medical’s FIREFLY® Navigation Guidance Platform is the perfect solution for both ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and hospital settings. Whether it is a two-level case with abnormal pedicles that would benefit from mechanically constrained navigation, or a complex scoliosis procedure with the goal of limiting radiation exposure to a young patient, FIREFLY® technology is the solution. This technology bundle includes a customized pre-surgical plan, patient-specific guides for each instrumented level, and a 3D printed bone model – all to help the surgeon provide safe, accurate, and reproducible outcomes for every patient.

Surgical Case Bundle

Customized Package for Every Patient

PRE-SURGICAL PLAN

Concierge pre-surgical planning provides predictive implant sizes, entry points, and trajectories based on a surgeon’s technique and is customized per patient by a team of highly trained biomedical designers to then be approved by the surgeon.

PATIENT SPECIFIC GUIDES

FIREFLY® Navigation Guides are patient-specific and 3D printed per case, providing custom care for every patient. These guides aid in the placement of traditional pedicle screws, cortical bone screws, cervical pedicle screws, and S2AI screws. When compared to free-hand techniques, these navigational guides save precious time within the OR which ultimately reduces cost.[1]

3D PRINTED BONE MODEL

A patient-specific, anatomical model with planned screw trajectories is supplied for every case. This autoclavable model provides surgeons with an additional tool for patient education, preoperative evaluation, and intraoperative reference and can be exceptionally helpful for patients with a three-dimensional spinal deformity such as scoliosis.

Features and Benefits

UNSURPASSED ACCURACY

FIREFLY® Navigation Guides provide superior accuracy and precision for implant placement along each planned trajectory by incorporating multiple points of anatomical contact and mechanical constraint for instrumentation.[2] The FIREFLY® Navigation Guides provides a solution with similar performance to that of a robotic arm port, but without the need to reregister the patient due to intersegmental motion.

OPEN SCREW PLATFORM

FIREFLY® Navigation Guidance Platform is an open platform, screw-agnostic system enabling surgeons to select the screw system that best suits their patient so there is no compromising or needing to learn new systems.

REDUCED RADIATION

The use of FIREFLY® Navigation Guides not only greatly reduces the amount of radiation exposure to the patient, but also to the OR staff intraoperatively. When compared to an intraoperative O-Arm spin or the average intraoperative C-Arm dosage, the use of mechanical guides reduced radiation exposure by 94% or 87% respectively[3].

TIME AND COST REDUCTION

Navigating with FIREFLY® does not require any capital investment or multi-year contracts. These guides are also proven to cut down on time per instrumented level by up to 30% when compared to traditional free-hand techniques[4], making FIREFLY® Navigation Guides the economical choice for navigational safety and accuracy.
