The Puncture Cube

“A revolution in CT guided navigation”

The Problem

Needle guided navigation is commonly done in a trial & error free-hand method. This can be time-consuming, inaccurate and radiation intense, especially if a double-oblique access route is warranted.

The Solution

The Puncture cube combines an intelligent planning software with a single use, sterile guidance device. A simple, revolutionary solution for CT guided interventions.

The Product

The Puncture Cube – a single-use needle guide made intelligent by our navigation software.

The Puncture Cube in 1 Minute

Indications

Pain Therapy

In pain treatment, hitting the target perfectly to inject the drug is paramount. The Puncture Cube helps you to deliver with precision: Faster, with fewer control scans and more consistent results.

Needle Biopsies

For a successful needle biopsy, reaching the target site – be it a lesion or nodule – is key for a successful diagnosis and treatment. The Puncture Cube not only helps to navigate the needle with millimeter precision, but also holds it in place once it is inserted. And because double oblique access paths are just as easy, you can really choose the access that is best for the patient.

Interventional Oncology

Be it RF & microwave ablations, cryotherapy, laser induced thermotherapy, irreversible electroporation or vertebroplasties – the Puncture Cube helps to get the tools to the target site and keep them there during the procedure.

How it works

1. Place

Place the Puncture Cube over target region

2. Scan

Scan the patient with a standard planning scan

3. Register

The software detects the cube automatically in the
planning scan

4. Target

Use the software to target the virtual needle

5. Puncture

Move the needle through the holes highlighted by the software
