The Hague, Netherlands — Following the recent MDR approval of the Cassini Guidance System, Cassini Technologies is advancing its open platform strategy through a collaboration with Leica Microsystems. This approach supports a seamless experience when utilizing compatible technologies.

By presenting preoperative diagnostic reference data directly into the operating room, the Cassini Guidance System provides digital overlays for live alignment and tracking. The diagnostic orientation is maintained throughout surgery, supporting continuity from diagnostics through intraoperative execution.

This collaboration reflects our commitment to deliver connected solutions that support surgeons while preserving flexibility and choice,” said Richard Spijkers, CEO of Cassini Technologies. “Cassini’s open platform design brings diagnostic data and intraoperative guidance together within a connected workflow, supporting a more seamless surgical experience.”

At Leica Microsystems, our company history and passion for delivering the best optics span more than 175 years, uniting optical excellence with the latest digital visualization capabilities,“ said Alvin Kok, Director Global Product Management at Leica Microsystems. “By integrating Cassini’s digital guidance with the Proveo 8x, we aim to enable more streamlined surgical workflows."  

Surgeons are invited to experience the integrated technologies firsthand at ASCRS Annual Meeting and ESCRS Congress, where Cassini Technologies and Leica Microsystems will showcase the solution in live demos.
