Safe Efficient Guiding Patient Care,” is the motto of CIVCO Medical Solutions (CIVCO). With its roots in the US and Europe, CIVCO is partnering with Consort Overseas to expand into emerging markets, such as India. Celebrating a milestone, CIVCO has provided customised ultrasound needle guidance solutions and infection control covers and drapes for over 30 years.
To provide customers with better ultrasound solutions, Consort Overseas now offers general purpose needle guidance solutions from CIVCO. These needle guidance systems utilise a two-part system consisting of custom reusable biopsy bracket and a disposable snap-on needle guide. The needle guides are designed for single-use, minimising the risk of cross-contamination. These needle guides include Infiniti Plus for accurate in-plane positioning during vascular access and regional anaesthesia procedures. Also, Ultra-Pro II, Ultra-Pro 3 and Ultra-Pro e needle guides provide a safe, reliable and efficient tool for ultrasound guided puncture procedures including catheter placement, core tissue biopsy and fluid aspirations. Also available are out-of-plane needle guidance solutions such as the Sonosite L25 and AccuSite. Designed specifically for the SonoSite L25 transducer, the SonoSite L25 needle guide provides clinical confidence for central line placement and nerve blocks. AccuSite provides clinical confidence for catheter placements and offers the most complete depths in the industry including: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 and 3.5 cm.
In addition to general purpose, Consort also offers CIVCO’s Endocavity needle guides which are created custom for transrectal and transvaginal ultrasound transducers. Disposable Endocavity needle guides are designed for single-use, reducing the risk of cross contamination. These endocavity guides attach securely to the transducers locating features for increased patient safety throughout the procedure. CIVCO’s reusable endocavity needle guides are made of stainless steel and are recommended for tissue biopsy, fluid aspiration and treatment procedures. Reusable needle guides require proper cleaning and sterilisation of the devices between patients.
Needle tracking systems
CIVCO’s new electromagnetic needle tracking systems allows physicians to clearly visualise and accurately track the tip of the needle in real time.
e-trax needle tip tracking system
eTRAX features an electromagnetic sensor embedded in the needle tip which provides an accurate 3D anatomical roadmap for tracking the tip of a needle under real-time, image-guided navigation. eTRAX may be used with devices for applications such as core tissue biopsies, fluid aspirations and vascular access and regional anaesthesia procedures.
Virtu trax instrument navigator
VirtuTRAX gives physicians the ability to turn any rigid instrument into a tracked device. Virtu TRAX can be used in applications such as ablations, drainage and therapeutic delivery.
