3D models for Cardiac Surgery

Cella Surgical Planner

Cella's 3D planner for cardiac surgery provides surgeons with a detailed view of the heart, blood vessels and lungs. This enables them to simulate the surgery and plan the most effective approach, reducing operating time and risks.

Specific tools for 3D planning of Cardiac Surgery

We collaborate with cardiac surgeons to develop dedicated tools

Our 3D models offer features tailored to real clinical needs, enabling personalised surgical planning for across specialties and pathologies.

Functionality for measuring distances between points of interest in cardiac surgery

Measure distances

Measure the distance between points of interest or the diameter of elements such as vascularisation.

Positioning functionality for ventricular assist devices in cardiac surgery

Ventricular assist device positioning

Simulation of the device’s precise location to optimise vascular flow.

Functionality to view possible contacts between the tumour and other elements in 3D

Tumour relationships

Shows possible infiltrations/contacts between the tumour and other elements.

Functionality for creating customised medical image cutting planes

Create customised plans

Apply a cutting plan from any direction.
