Volume Navigation Tracking Brackets with Ultra-Pro™ Needle Guide
Introducing the next generation guidance system, that incorporates both tracking technology and needle guidance capabilities into a single reusable bracket. These unique brackets with pink sensor mounts 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 Volume Navigation (VNAV) is being performed. When ready for puncture, a disposableUltra-Pro style needle guide locks onto the bracket providing a path for directing instruments according to on-screen software guidelines. This convenient starter kit includes a reusable VNAV bracket and five sterile procedure kits including: Ultra-Pro II needle guide, telescopically-folded CIV-Flex transducer cover, gel packet and colored elastic bands. Non-sterile probe clips are also included for easy connection of sensor cables to the transducer cable. Other CIVCO Ultra-Pro style needle guides are compatible with VNAV brackets including Ultra-Pro e and Ultra-Pro 3. Electromagnetic sensors are available by contacting your GE Healthcare representative. Design allows secure attachment of dual driveBAY sensors for stable positioning and improved accuracy throughout the procedure. Bracket retro-fits Ultra-Pro style needle guides including: Ultra-Pro 3, Ultra-Pro II and Ultra-Pro e allowing user greater selection. CIV-Flex transducer cover kit provides extended sterile field to protect against cross contamination.| Product | Information |
