Robotic Bronchoscopy
Ion is used to perform robotic-assisted bronchoscopy. This system can reach all 18 segments of the lungs and be placed to obtain a biopsy. The ultra-thin catheter and integrated vision probe provide the physician direct vision to reach all parts of the lungs.
The shape-sensing technology provides precise location and shape information throughout the whole biopsy process. The system holds the catheter in place for
precise placement for biopsy tools. The catheter can move 180° in all directions.
