Tracking Bracket with Verza Guidance System
Tracking Bracket with Verza Guidance System
This Verza bracket incorporates both tracking technology and needle guidance capabilities into a single reusable bracket. These unique brackets with a sensor mount are designed to hold customized electromagnetic tracking sensors (EMT) in close proximity to the ultrasound transducer while connected to your ultrasound system. Tracking brackets must be used in ultrasound procedures where navigation or image fusion is being performed. When ready for puncture, a disposable Verza style needle guide locks on the bracket providing a path for directing instruments according to on-screen software guidelines. The guide's innovative design reduces blind zone and unguided needle length while providing high stability for improved accuracy. Verza offers maximum versatility with a five-angle approach for improved anatomical access while also featuring an expanded gauge range - accommodating 14 different sizes of interventional instruments. The Verza Guidance System directs instruments according to on-screen ultrasound system guidelines. Setting a new standard for ease-of-use, Verza features easy-to-read gauge sizes, angle indicator and repeatable bolt action quick-release for secure instrument detachment. Verza is sold in a convenient sterile procedure kit with telescopically-folded CIV-Flex™ cover, gel packet and colored elastic bands. Verza accepts a full range of interventional devices including: 12F, 10F, 9F, 8F, 7F, 14G, 15G, 16G, 17G, 18G, 20G, 21G, 22G and 25G. The Verza guidance system is intended for use with pediatric and adult patients. The Verza guidance system for this transducer utilizes a two-part system consisting of a custom reusable bracket and disposable guide. The Verza bracket offers users an improved approach to bracket design including: Simplified multi-angle design free of lock pins and removable parts; Secure user-friendly closure door for ease of application and removal; Sleek design for ease in cleaning surfaces and locating features; Unique color coding for ease of identification during set-up and dismantle; Low profile fit allowing pre-scanning to be completed with the bracket in position and ready for interventions| Product | Information |
