Problem
Central venous catheterization, a common medical procedure performed over 20 million times globally each year, is associated with complication rates between 4-11%, leading to hundreds of thousands of preventable complications annually. These complications can result in significant costs for healthcare systems.
Solution
OBVIUS Robotics is developing the CERTA Access System, a handheld, image-guided device designed to improve the speed and reliability of central venous catheterization. The device enables clinicians to visualize target vessels in real-time and advance a needle to the target location. Initial clinical cases demonstrated 100% access success across both experienced and inexperienced users.
Target Audience
The primary users are clinicians who perform central venous catheterizations in hospitals and other healthcare settings.
Features
- Handheld, image-guided needle placement device
- Real-time visualization of target vessels
- Designed for fast and reliable central line placement
