Problem
During breast cancer surgery, accurately locating tumor margins in real-time is challenging, often requiring multiple imaging procedures and potentially leading to excessive tissue removal. Traditional methods using metal clips can be imprecise and may not provide the surgeon with the real-time spatial intelligence needed for optimal excision.
Solution
Elucent Medical's breast cancer detection system utilizes SmartClip technology and the EnVisio Navigation system to provide surgeons with real-time, precise tumor margin localization during surgical excision. The system employs electromagnetic waves to safely transmit stereotactic coordinates from the SmartClip marker to the EnVisio Navigation system, displaying the precise location within a 50cm x 50cm x 35cm field. This approach transforms standard electrocautery tools into precision-guided surgical instruments, enabling surgeons to pinpoint the exact location of the SmartClip marker without additional imaging. The EnVisio Navigation system processes over 100 data streams simultaneously, empowering physicians with the power of precision and minimizing unnecessary tissue removal.
Target Audience
The primary users are breast surgeons and hospitals seeking advanced surgical navigation tools for more precise and efficient tumor removal during breast cancer surgery.
