Problem
Traditional endovascular procedures rely on X-ray fluoroscopy for guidance, which provides low-quality 2D imaging and exposes both patients and medical staff to harmful radiation. The reliance on radiation and contrast dye poses risks, especially in complex cases requiring extended procedure times.
Solution
Centerline Biomedical's Intra-Operative Positioning System (IOPS®) offers an alternative to traditional X-ray fluoroscopy by providing real-time, high-quality 3D color image guidance during endovascular procedures. The system enhances accuracy in vascular interventions while significantly reducing radiation exposure for both patients and medical personnel. IOPS® is a portable system that integrates directly into the surgical workflow, providing interactive navigation and precise positioning of endovascular tools. By mitigating the risks associated with radiation exposure and improving visualization, IOPS® aims to create a safer and more effective environment for endovascular interventions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and other medical professionals performing endovascular procedures in hospitals and outpatient centers.
