Fluorescence guided cancer surgery

When removing a tumor during surgery, a biopsy is taken to the lab for examination to see if sufficient tissue is removed from the patient. Using fluorescence image-guided surgery (FIGS) there is a paradigm shift discernible with surgeons. The surgeon uses a special real-time camera to detect the tumor during surgery. To do this, a molecular marker is injected in the patient, which  makes tumors fluoresce green. The surgeon will know exactly where to cut to remove the entire tumor.

The cart for this application is designed so that the long arm can support the camera. Because the arm can position the camera properly above the patient, there is no need to hold the (relatively heavy) camera by hand. This also gives a more stable image. At the upper and rear of the cart is two monitors can be mounted on which the images can be presented.

The above mentioned applications are configurations based on our standard medical carts. These standard carts are modular in design, allowing to create any configuration according to customer specification. This means that the displayed cart configurations can be adjusted as desired. This includes for example removing or adding a shelf, bottle bracket or other components. In case a desired item is not part of our standard product range, it is also possible to deliver custom made parts. In this case we can design the required item, and produce this design for you. Please contact our sales department to discuss the possibilities.
