Problem
Percutaneous procedures that rely on manual guidance with 2D or 3D imaging can be time-consuming and may expose both patients and medical staff to significant radiation. Achieving consistent submillimeter accuracy in these interventions is challenging, potentially leading to suboptimal outcomes.
Solution
Interventional Systems offers Micromate, a table-mounted robotic platform designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of percutaneous procedures. Micromate integrates with existing 2D and 3D imaging modalities to provide submillimeter accuracy, enabling clinicians to navigate complex anatomies with greater confidence. The system's navigated workflow reduces the need for control scans, thereby minimizing patient radiation exposure. Micromate is instrument-agnostic and compatible with standard operating tables, allowing seamless integration into existing clinical workflows without the need for specialized support staff.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes interventional radiologists, surgeons, and other medical professionals performing percutaneous procedures who seek to improve accuracy, reduce radiation exposure, and streamline their workflows.
