OnPoint Surgical, a medical technology company pioneering Augmented Reality (AR) guidance and artificial intelligence (AI) for neurosurgical and orthopedic spinal procedures, today announced that its United States Patent No. 11,957,420, entitled “Augmented Reality Display for Spinal Rod Placement Related Applications” was honored at the 2024 Boston Invented Here! ceremony.

A display of virtual rods aiming for virtual screw heads during rod insertion will enable an entirely new level of clinical performance, workflow improvement, and time savings during minimally invasive spinal procedures. I believe this technology will help achieve clinical outcomes with standard spinal rods that were previously only achievable with expensive custom rods.”, said …
