Problem
Traditional frozen sectioning for tumor margin detection during cancer surgery requires a 40-60 minute analysis time and necessitates a histology lab located outside the operating room. This process introduces delays in surgical decision-making and can impact patient outcomes.
Solution
Histolution offers an in-situ laser-based histology microscope designed for direct use within the operating room. This system generates digital images of tumor samples without the need for physical sectioning, enabling real-time assessment of tumor margins. By providing immediate histological data, Histolution's technology streamlines the surgical workflow and supports faster, more informed intraoperative decisions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes surgical oncologists and pathology departments performing cancer surgeries who require rapid, intraoperative tissue analysis.
Features
- Laser-based imaging technology for direct digital analysis of tissue samples.
- Sectioning-free histology workflow, eliminating the need for cryosectioning.
- Intraoperative deployment for real-time margin assessment.
- Digital image generation for immediate review and analysis.
