Business Description


Cbyon, Inc., based in Palo Alto, California, is a medical technology company that develops and markets computer-enhanced visualization and navigation software systems for minimally invasive surgery.

FDA 510(k) Clearance
Cbyon has received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration to market its software products for cranial, spinal, and biopsy applications.

The company's mission is to improve clinical outcomes and reduce hospital costs by increasing the precision and safety of 3D minimally-invasive surgical tools. The company has developed the CBYON SuiteTM, an advanced image-guided surgery (IGS) system that provides surgeons with intuitive, dynamic, three-dimensional images of patient-specific internal anatomy beyond the incision site. The CBYON SuiteTM is based on a patented computer modeling system developed by Stanford University biomedical engineers and doctors, called "3-D Perspective Volume Rendering." The system is currently optimized for neurosurgery, ear, nose and throat (ENT) and spinal surgeries, which represent more than 830,000 such procedures annually in the United States. In the future, the CBYON SuiteTM will be enhanced for soft, mobile tissue applications such as gynecologic and cardiac procedures.

Hospitals currently using Cbyon systems include:

• Barrow Neurological Institute of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona
  
• Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Masachusetts
  
• Stanford University Medical Center, Stanford, California
  
• The Cleveland Clinic Foundation, ENT and Neurosurgery Departments, Cleveland, Ohio
  
• Case Western Reserve, Cleveland, Ohio
