Vinno in Singapore : Biopsy/puncture under Ultrasound guidance, how can it be so "easy" and "accurate" with single puncture ?

Biopsy/puncture under Ultrasound guidance, how can it be so "easy" and "accurate" with single puncture ?

Traditional vascular puncture and nerve block have many disadvantages. The development of colour doppler ultrasound technology ease the job of doctors.

Under the guidance of ultrasound, doctors can easily identify the structure of blood vessels, nerves, muscles, etc., and provide local anesthesia or catheterization more easily

However, even with the guidance of the color ultrasound, finding the target is still not an easy task.

The difficulties are described as below :

Difficult point 1

During out-plane puncture , the doctor is unable to visualize the complete puncture needle, so it is difficult to estimate the position and angle of the puncture needle reaching the target. The puncture technique and experience are highly required.

Difficulty Point 2

During in-plane puncture, when the needle and the probe surface are in the same plane, the needle can be completely displayed, but it is difficult for the doctor to ensure that the needle and the probe surface are completely in the same plane during the puncture.

Vinno’s micro-magnetic guidance ( V-guide ) and needle enhancement perfectly solve the problems encountered by doctors during anesthesia.

On the upper left of the ultrasound screen, a top view projection is added to show the relative position of the needle and probe surface, and the position between the needle and the probe surface can be visualized accurately

When the magnetized needle is closed to the probe, the actual spatial position of the needle relative to the probe is obtained (no needle is inserted), and the needle insertion path is displayed on the ultrasound image in real time, and the intersection of the needle and the imaging section is intelligently predicted (ie, the target) aims)

Preparation before needle insertion (locking target)

Needle tip reaches the target

Puncture needle tip reaches the target

Before the puncture is ready for needle insertion, the doctor adjusts the angle and position of the needle according to the indication of the needle path and the target box, and determines the needle path (locking target) to ensure that the needle tip accurately reaches the target, and the precise puncture is truly achieved.

The needle reaches the target position

There is a background magnetic field near the probe. When the puncture needle is inserted into the magnetized cup, it will be magnetized. When the magnetized needle is closed to the probe , the background magnetic field will be enhanced. The magnetic sensor embedded in the probe detects the magnetic signal intensity, and the magnetic signals are processed, Thus, the spatial position and direction of the needle relative to the probe can be displayed in real time on the ultrasonic image.
