Coverage comes from one of three places. The difference shows up on the days that don’t go to plan — the add-on at 6pm, the revision where the landmarks are gone, the case where tracking drops halfway through.
Vendor rep
Free with the capital purchase — until it isn’t. Requires days of notice, competes with other hospitals for the same rep, and their priority is the next system sale. No obligation to show up for your add-on at 6pm.
Your own staff
No outside cost, but OR staff touch the system a few times a month. Not enough to stay fluent. Registration takes longer, accuracy suffers, and when tracking drops mid-case nobody in the room owns the fix.
PRONAV
A technician whose entire job is navigation. We know the system, the procedure, the anatomy, and the imaging. We’re there for the scheduled 7:30 and the add-on at 6pm, and we bill per case — so you pay for coverage you actually used.

Planning. Time. Precision.
Image-guided surgery allows the surgeon to view anatomical structures in 3D and in real-time. Preoperative planning software can allow the surgeon to create a precise plan in advance along with additional functional data in order to avoid critical structures.
With image-guided surgery, knowing exactly where a tumor is located can allow surgeons to make smaller incisions and find tumors faster thus decreasing time spent in the operating room and shortening patient recovery time with overall better patient outcomes.
