CRITICAL INFORMATION, AT THE MOMENT YOU NEED IT

Active imaging gives you information that enables critical decision-making.

Active imaging with intraoperative ultrasound (iUS) gives you the real-time information you need, helping you confirm or update your operative plan, make informed clinical decisions, and achieve your organ-sparing procedures.

Learn about our intuitively simple active imaging solutions, designed to reduce the iUS learning curve and make it easy to elevate your procedures.

PERFORMANCE THAT COUNTS
Fully sterilizable, specialized transducers, no matter your approach

Intraoperative Transducer I14C5I
I-shaped transducer ideal visualizing anatomy in transverse and sagittal planes.
Intraoperative Transducer I14C5T
T-shaped transducer with a wide near-field view, ideal for visualizing anatomy in transverse and sagittal planes.
Intraoperative Biplane Transducer I12C5b
Features simultaneous visualization of transverse and sagittal planes designed for guiding biopsies, needle placements, and ablation procedures of the liver.
Mini-T Transducer I12C5
High-resolution finger transducer designed for intraoperative imaging of the pancreas with flexible imaging for open and hybrid techniques and integrated needle guidance for predictable intervention in ablation procedures.
Advanced Laparoscopic Transducer I13C3f*
Provides high-resolution imaging for clear visualization of anatomy, with 4-way flexible tip allowing good organ contact and access to difficult-to-reach areas, a laser feature ideal for visualizing needle trajectory, and specially designed needle guidance channels.
Robotic-Assisted Transducer Rob12C4*
Excellent image quality and a wide field of view for visualization of critical anatomy, and a highly flexible cable and small transducer profile for access to difficult-to-reach areas.
