Support for Medical Procedures
The Terason Ultrasound System can be configured with needle guides used for tissue
biopsy, fluid aspriation, amniocentesis, and catheter placement. The system can also be
incorporated into cryoablation (or targeted ablation) and brachytherapy products from
other vendors. The Terason Ultrasound System scans the anatomy or vessel for size,
location, and patency, and provides guide lines between which the needle will appear.
For biopsy and vascular puncture applications, a needle guide kit directs needles to the
proper location for percutaneous vascular punctures and nerve blocks. The needle guide
allows you to direct the needle into the center of a vessel or tissue mass, helping to avoid
adjacent vital tissue. You can see the anatomy in real time before, during, and after the
procedure, and can save images and Cine loops for future reference.
