The company's leadership team includes individuals with extensive experience in the dental and high-tech corporate sectors. Lawrence Obstfeld serves as the Executive Chairman and CEO. Dr. Uri Sonenfeld, a practicing dentist, has led the clinical development of the company's systems since 1996. The executive team also includes Dror Zerem, who handles Business Development & Marketing, bringing over 20 years of management experience from global hi-tech and start-up companies.
Image Navigation's primary product is the Image Guided Implantology (IGI) system, a tool for precise dental surgeries. The latest version, IGI 2.0, is a hybrid surgical navigation and robotics system designed to streamline procedures and reduce chair time for dental professionals. It functions like a GPS for dentistry, using a pre-operative CT scan as a 3D map for real-time navigation during the procedure. This allows the dentist to visualize the drill's orientation and position within the bone without additional radiation. Key features of the IGI 2.0 system include TRAX™, a real-time tracking technology with high accuracy and a fast refresh rate to eliminate on-screen lag. It also incorporates a robotic autostop feature as a safety measure to prevent drilling outside the planned trajectory, without compromising the dentist's tactile feedback. Another component is the MiniLOCK™, a device designed for accurate patient tracking, which can be repositioned without losing accuracy, facilitating a flexible workflow. The system is designed to be easily integrated into any dental suite.
