Ascension Technology

Ascension Technology Corporation is a leading developer of electromagnetic 3D tracking and motion-sensing solutions specifically designed for medical and industrial applications. The company's core technology, the 3D Guidance platform, provides high-precision, real-time tracking of surgical instruments, catheters, and ultrasound probes without requiring a clear line-of-sight. These systems are integral to image-guided surgery, enabling clinicians to navigate complex anatomical structures with enhanced accuracy during minimally invasive procedures. Following its acquisition by Northern Digital Inc. (NDI) in 2012, Ascension has continued to provide critical sensor technology to major medical device OEMs worldwide. Its product portfolio, including the trakSTAR and driveBAY systems, remains a gold standard for spatial measurement in clinical research and surgical navigation.
