Complete Complex Interventional Procedures Conducted Remotely


The Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System is designed to enable physicians to complete complex interventional procedures by using computer-controlled, externally applied magnetic fields that govern the motion of the working tip of the catheter or guide wire.

Procedural benefits include increased precision of catheter movements, improved stability of the cather in difficult locations and computer memory of difficult anatomic locations. Plus, the catheter is very soft, making the perforation risk much lower than normal.
