EX^3™ Stepper

For use with Best Sonalis TRT TriView, BK Medical 8848, 8558, 8658, E14CL4b, GE Healthcare ERB, Hitachi Aloka C41L47RP, UST-672 5/7.5, EUP-U533, Siemens Endo-PII, and Terason 8B4S. The EX³ Stepper's modular design reports angular and linear position directly to the manufacturer's treatment planning software intraoperatively. Through direct communication, the stepper offers rapid connection for data analysis and reduces clutter in the surgical suite. The unique design of the EX³ also features a removable electronic unit which mitigates the risk of damaging transmission components and reduces cleaning time after the procedure.

The EX³ Stepper, like its predecessor the EXII™, offers compatibility for BK Medical, GE Healthcare, Hitachi Aloka, Terason and Siemens Transrectal ultrasound probes, and it is currently validated for use with Varian Vitesse™, VariSeed™, Acoustic Medsystem's Radvision and MIM Symphony treatment planning software.
