ClearPoint Neuro, a global leader in facilitating device, cell, and gene therapy, has recently secured FDA 510(k) clearance for its innovative SmartFrame OR™ Stereotactic System. This achievement marks a significant step for the company, renowned for its precise navigation solutions in neurosurgery.

Comprising the SmartFrame OR and the ClearPointer™ Optical Navigation Wand, the system delivers stereotactic guidance for instrument placement in neurological procedures, leveraging preoperative MR and/or CT imaging.
