NDI Radix™ Lens
The Marker of Choice for Navigated Orthopaedic Arthroplasty
The Radix™ Lens is a marker designed to be integrated into OEM surgical instruments to accurately and reliably pinpoint instrument positions in orthopaedic arthroplasty procedures.
High Accuracy
Reliable Navigation
Easy to Clean
Integratable
Enhances Workflow
Orthopaedic Surgery can be Messy.
Navigated solutions can become less accurate when the markers are contaminated in small amounts during procedures. The proprietary design of the Radix Lens ensures that it maintains high accuracy even when contaminated.
The unique design of the Radix Lens enables it to continue tracking accurately, even when markers are heavily contaminated, ensuring reliable navigation.
The smooth plastic surface and dome structure of the Radix Lens make it quick and easy to clean during procedures, enhancing efficiency and reducing frustration for surgeons, unlike traditional retro-reflective navigation markers which can be difficult to wipe and clean, leading to extended procedure times.
Orthopaedic Surgery Requires Specialized Tool Design.
The Radix Lens simplifies integration by providing a standardized platform for designing and manufacturing disposable surgical tools. This eliminates the need for navigation providers to develop custom solutions, streamlining the process of incorporating these tools into their systems. Additionally, it reduces the sterilization burden on hospitals and mitigates the substantial initial cost associated with repurposable tools.
Navigation markers that protrude from tools can occlude each other, resulting in surgeon frustration and prolonged procedures. The Radix Lens, featuring a low profile and a large viewing angle of up to 60 degrees, maintains tracking through a wide range of motion without self-occlusion, enhancing the workflow of procedures.
Radix Lens Features:
- Facilitates accurate optical tracking in harsh environments
- Solid contamination is easy to identify and remove, resulting in better tracking recovery
- Partial occlusions have minimal impact on tracking performance
- Minimizes interruption to surgical workflow
- Low profile marker eliminates marker-to-marker interference on planar, multi-marker tools

Resistant to Partial Occlusions
As a benefit of its form factor, the Radix Lens is inherently resistant to partial occlusions. An occlusion that partially covers one side of the lens will be reflected on the opposite side. Due to the resulting symmetrical occlusion, the marker centroid is still tracked accurately. The Radix Lens has a viewing angle of ±60°, which ensures it is readily “seen” (detected) by the Polaris® optical tracker within the measurement volume.
Developing a Navigated Orthopaedic Solution is Difficult – Trust the Expert
Sourcing alternative markers involves obtaining them from third-party providers or developing them internally. The direct connection between the camera and the marker is crucial for optimal navigation performance. NDI provides a full solution with a navigation camera and marker, establishing themselves as the navigation expert.
