Founded in 2004, Atracsys is a Swiss company specializing in high precision optical tracking systems for surgical robotics and navigation. Atracsys offers a complete ecosystem of products and services, including cameras, markers, software development kits (SDKs), calibration tools, and custom development, designed to support a wide range of navigation and robotic surgery workflows.
Building on engineering excellence and being ISO 13485 certified, Atracsys delivers robust and reliable solutions for leading medical device manufacturers and research institutions.
Product Overview
Cameras
Atracsys offers two main series of high-speed optical tracking cameras:
- fusionTrack™: Designed for demanding robotic and computer assisted surgeries, these cameras deliver low latency and high precision across a wide range of working volumes.
- spryTrack™: Designed to enable innovative workflows in surgical navigation, the spryTrack™ series offers differentiated capabilities, including 3D surface reconstruction and wireless mobility.
Both series are engineered for real-time performance and are supported by calibration tools to maintain long-term accuracy.
Markers
Atracsys provides passive and omnidirectional optical tracking markers:
- TindaxTM and NavexTM passive markers use retro-reflective spheres or discs compatible with infrared tracking systems.
- forpiTM omnidirectional markers enable tracking through up to 360° of rotation, offering enhanced freedom of movement and making them ideal for dynamic surgical environments.
These markers are essential for determining the precise 6D pose of instruments and objects during surgery.
Verification and Calibration Tools
To ensure peak performance, Atracsys offers tools like:
- ASTM Phantom: A precision tool compliant with ASTM F2554-22 for verifying tracking accuracy.
- Pyramid: A recalibration device that enables rapid, on-site restoration of factory-level accuracy in under 20 minutes.
These tools help support on-site verification and recalibration, reducing downtime, shipping costs, and environmental impact while maintaining system accuracy over time.
Key Applications
Atracsys technologies are used in several clinical domains, where they aim to support greater precision and efficiency in computer-assisted and robotics surgical procedures:
- Cranial & Spine: Supports neurosurgical navigation across a broad range of cranial & spine procedures, including accurate tumor resection and spinal fusion with precise screw and rod placement.
- Orthopaedics: Enables real-time tracking during joint replacements and fracture repairs, improving implant alignment and surgical outcomes.
- Dental: Supports advanced digital dentistry workflows, from facial scanning and dynamic jaw motion analysis to surgical navigation and implant planning.
- Other Applications: Atracsys systems are also used in interventional radiology, lithotripsy, extremity navigation, and motion tracking. Their versatility allows integration into robotic platforms and AR-based visualization systems for real-time overlays and 3D reconstructions.
