Endocavity Standoff

• Endocavity balloons cover the endorectal ultrasound transducer during transrectal procedures, enabling ultrasound scanning.¹
• Inflating and deflating the balloon with saline during transrectal scanning assists with positioning the prostate.¹
• Use of an endocavity balloon to cover the ultrasound transducer during template-guided transperineal biopsy enables access to the peripheral zone at the level of the prostate base.¹
• Enables systematic biopsy of the prostate through the perineum during targeted biopsy procedures²
• Template graphics (5mm spacing) align with planning software, enabling appropriate targeting of identified anatomical region of interest within the prostate³
