CIVCO introduces the Infiniti needle guidance system for use with the L25 transducer on SonoSite’s ultrasound platforms. SonoSite’s L25 transducer, coupled with the Infiniti needle guidance system, is used to shorten procedure time and increase accuracy. Together they offer a safe, reliable and efficient tool to increase clinical confidence in ultrasound-guided procedures.
CIVCO’s Needle Guidance System utilizes a two-part system consisting of a custom reusable biopsy bracket and disposable snap-on needle guide with sterile CIV-Flex transducer cover. The Infiniti needle guide offers multiple angle capabilities for shallow and deep access. The open channel design of the needle guide allows instruments to be positioned in the scan plane, providing a safe, efficient means for ultrasound-guided puncture procedures. The needle guide attaches to the reusable bracket and accepts 14 and 18 gauge instruments. Replacement kits include needle guide, transducer cover, gel packet and colored elastic bands.
