WARNING
VirtuTRAX™ sterile hand-held device is a single use device.
eTRAX™ (optional)
eTRAX™ needle tip tracking system improves image guidance by
tracking the tip of a needle using electromagnetic technology and real-
time navigation in the interventional suite. This system allows physicians
safe and accurate placement of instruments during each procedure by
monitoring the real-time trajectory of the needle as it advances through
delicate anatomy to the center of a target such as a tumor, cyst or polyp.
When integrated with visualization tools, eTRAX™ enables accurate
percutaneous targeting of lesions without radiation or open surgery.
This two-part coaxial system consists of a reusable non-sterile needle
handle with a 1.3mm sensor in the distal tip and a sterile disposable needle
with a trocar tip. A sterile CIV-Flex cover is used to easily cover the
reusable handle prior to insertion into the disposable needle and sheath.
The cover ensured sterility once the needle handles are locked in position.
This device allows you to simultaneously track the tip of the needle and
the scan plane. In order to visualize the patient anatomy as well as the
position of the needle tip in real time.
