Problem
During cancer surgery, accurately identifying cancerous tissues while minimizing damage to healthy tissues remains a significant challenge. Current methods may lack precision, potentially leading to incomplete tumor removal or excessive tissue resection. This can result in increased risk of recurrence and complications for patients.
Solution
Marginum is developing fluorescence-guided aspirate tissue monitoring technology to enhance the precision and safety of cancer surgery. Their system allows surgeons to accurately identify cancerous tissue in real-time without disrupting existing surgical workflows. The technology utilizes fluorescence to differentiate between healthy and cancerous tissues, providing surgeons with enhanced visualization and control during tissue removal. This approach aims to improve surgical outcomes by ensuring complete tumor removal while preserving healthy tissue, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes and reduced risk of complications.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes oncological surgeons and hospitals seeking to improve the precision and efficacy of cancer surgery.
Features
- Fluorescence-guided imaging for real-time tissue differentiation
