FAQs

Yes, the bolt Navigation System is completely implant agnostic.

The system is available on a subscription basis. The cost covers all upgrades, replacement devices and service. One monthly charge for the system – that’s it. No cap-ex and no maintenance fees.

You do! No waiting for reps or techs. No depending on complex integrated systems. The surgeon controls everything. All staff has to do is drop the unit into the sterile drape and put it in the case.

The system should require no service. If a unit is not functioning for any reason, a new one will be supplied the next day or sooner.

Benchtop and cadaveric studies demonstrate 2-degree mean accuracy.

No special imaging is required. Bolt leverages a true lateral X-ray acquired once the patient is positioned combined with images from their diagnostic MRI or CT.

Bolt requires no registration.

The bolt system is designed so the surgeon can quickly plan intraoperatively to accommodate any changes or variances that occur during the procedure.

Yes, the Bolt unit should be aligned along the long axis of the patient with the top toward the head.

The company can wipe the system remotely and under the subscription model will supply a new unit. (Up to three replacements in a calendar year.)

The design of the system accounts for this.

A true lateral image is necessary, thus multiple x-rays may be needed to ensure that the endplates of the vertebral body line up for each segment that will have pedicle screws.

Yes, as long as you capture your lateral image in that orientation and the system is used while the patient is in that exact same position. The patient cannot be airplaned while capturing images or using the system.

No, it is not integrated with the EMR. The system uses MR or CT scan information from pre-op imaging and a lateral X-ray once the patient is placed on the table.
