CIVCO’s Needle Guidance System utilizes a two-part system consisting of a custom reusable biopsy bracket and the disposable snap-on needle guide called the Ultra-Pro II. The Ultra-Pro II needle guide incorporates flexibility and advanced features to increase productivity during ultrasound-guided procedures. The needle guide directs instruments according to on-screen software guidelines. The Ultra-Pro II features a larger tab for improved quick-release function, allowing easy detachment of the needle from the transducer. Easy-to-read gauge sizes on the inserts make it simple to identify and alter gauge sizes in a darkened ultrasound suite. The guide features a larger funnel for instrument insertion and will accept a full range of sizes including: 8.5FR, 14-23GA (19 GA not available.) US Patent No. 5.941,889.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Large funnel style insertion point offers quick instrument placement in darkened suite.
• Repeatable, easy-to-use "quick release" feature for detachment of guide provides physician flexibility during puncture procedures.
• Accurate needle path with on-screen guidelines offers physician real-time visualization ensuring patient safety throughout the procedure.
• Reduces technique variability providing a shorter learning curve and reduced procedure time.
• Single-use design reduces risk of cross-contamination and increases productivity with ease and safety.
