Executive Summary
German company BrainLab has gained FDA 510(k) clearance to sell its Kolibri ENT image-guided surgery software for use during ENT (ear, nose and throat) surgery in the US. The system, which is intended specifically for use in sinus surgery, enables surgeons to track pre-existing surgical instruments and to integrate real-time endoscopic video, says the Munich firm. The technology also features a tool tip offset, allowing surgeons to virtually navigate deep into the patient's sinuses, the firm adds.
