NDI’s electromagnetic tracking system includes key components engineered for dependable performance in medical device applications:

• Transmitters/ Field Generators create a low-intensity electromagnetic field that defines the space where sensors are tracked. Various models are available to fit different clinical setups and workflows.

• Sensors are small devices embedded into OEM instruments like catheters, scopes, and needles. They detect their exact position and orientation within the electromagnetic field, enabling real-time tracking inside the body.
• Electronic Units/ Sensor Interface Unit (SIU) and System Control Unit (SCU) work together to amplify, process, and convert sensor signals into precise location data. This information is then shared with the OEM system to guide instruments accurately during procedures.

NDI’s electromagnetic technologies support a broad range of clinical applications, including:

• Interventional Radiology: Enabling precise navigation during minimally invasive image-guided procedures.
• Spinal Surgery: Assisting with accurate placement and navigation in spinal interventions.
• Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) Surgery: Supporting precise instrument tracking in ENT procedures.
• Pulmonology/Bronchoscopy: Facilitating navigation during airway interventions.
• Electrophysiology and Endovascular Surgery: Allowing accurate instrument tracking without interference during fluoroscopy.

By serving these diverse clinical markets, we aim to support our OEM partners in improving patient outcomes and assist healthcare professionals by delivering reliable, high-quality medical technology solutions.

Every day, we push the boundaries of tracking technology, helping our partners deliver better care, today and into the future.

DEXTER® Robotic Surgery System

DEXTER® is a soft tissue surgical robot designed to simplify operations and make the benefits of wristed robotics accessible in any operating room (OR).

Unlike large, fixed robotic platforms, the design of DEXTER® centers around efficiency and flexibility. Its small, mobile footprint allows the system to integrate into operating rooms of any size without structural modifications and to be easily moved between rooms to optimize utilization. These characteristics have led DEXTER to become known as the ASC robot, reflecting its suitability for space-conscious ambulatory surgical centers in the US. A sterile console positions the surgeon close to the patient, enabling immediate bedside access and seamless transitions between laparoscopic and robotic techniques, as needed.

DEXTER avoids tying hospitals to a closed, proprietary ecosystem. Instead, the open architecture supports compatibility with existing and future OR technologies, including visualization systems and advanced devices, allowing surgical teams to adopt robotics without disrupting established infrastructure.

Wristed robotic instruments provide precision and dexterity, while the overall system design supports an efficient learning curve for setup and use.

In the United States, DEXTER is FDA approved for use in cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal), laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, and benign hysterectomy. In Europe, it is CE certified for use in general surgery, gynecology, and urology. DEXTER is commercially available in both the United States and Europe and has been used to treat more than 3,000 patients worldwide.
