Invuity Waveguide XT Provides a Ray of Light During Minimally Invasive Spinal Procedures

San Francisco-based company Invuity has released its new Invuity Waveguide XT System, which promises to light up the spine during minimally invasive spinal surgeries.

The company said that the system delivers omnidirectional light and is a “universal ‘drop-in’ illuminator” that can be seamlessly placed in the disc space that is being worked upon by the surgeons without causing any heat in the surrounding tissues.

In the future, our technology platform will continue to expand into additional modalities to address some of the most significant unmet clinical needs in minimal access surgery," said a statement by Invuity Chief Executive Officer Philip Sawyer.
