Product catalog summary
Introduction
CIVCO's eTRAX™ technology offers advanced needle tip tracking for ultrasound interventions, enhancing precision and safety. It provides real-time visualization of the needle trajectory, aiding in accurate navigation through complex anatomical structures.

Key Features
  • Real-time 3D anatomical mapping with a sensor embedded in the needle tip.
  • Improved visualization and orientation of the needle during procedures.
  • Applicable for various organs including the abdomen, pancreas, kidney, prostate, liver, and thyroid.

Clinical Applications
eTRAX is beneficial for both biopsies and therapeutic interventions like cryoablation and radiofrequency. It enhances patient safety by reducing the need for radiation and invasive surgery.

Clinical Benefits
  • Accurate navigation and access to difficult anatomy.
  • High technical success and accuracy with reduced procedure time and complications.
  • Real-time image fusion with ultrasound and electromagnetic tracking for safe interventions.

Research and Evidence
Studies demonstrate eTRAX's high accuracy and safety in needle placement, particularly in challenging areas not visible under conventional ultrasound. It significantly reduces needle placement time and the number of pullbacks compared to traditional methods.

Conclusion
eTRAX technology provides a reliable and efficient solution for complex medical procedures, improving outcomes and minimizing the need for invasive techniques.

CLINICAL VERSATILITY CIVCO’s eTRAX™ is a breakthrough technology that enables precise needle tip tracking to expand the capabilities of ultrasound interventions. eTRAX allows users to clearly visualize the location and orientation of the needle as it advances towards the anatomical target. Featuring a sensor embedded into the needle tip, eTRAX offers a 3D anatomical road map to help physicians navigate through delicate tissues or diffcult-to-access targets with greater accuracy and efficiency. Like never before, eTRAX provides safe and easy access to small or difficult-to-access targets and helps...

ACCURATE NAVIGATION Clinical studies report a high level of accuracy and safety using eTRAX Needle Tip Tracking. ACCESS TO DIFFICULT ANATOMY Evidence demonstrates eTRAX provides access to targets normally difficult to visualize under conventional ultrasound. Easy, fast and safe needle placement. The consequential positive impact on needle tip localization and needle path prediction have led to increased accuracy of ultrasound (US)-guided electromagnetically tracked biopsies. Such high level of accuracy have permitted easy, fast, and safe needle placement in targeted liver nodules, with a low...
