Handheld-ultrasound firm SonoSite has debuted its AxoTrack needle-guidance tool for use with its M-Turbo ultrasound systems.
AxoTrack combines ultrasound with magnetics to provide users with real-time visual updates of needle location as it travels through tissue to the intended target, according to SonoSite. The AxoTrack system consists of a specially designed ultrasound transducer from SonoSite and a single-use sterile procedure kit from Soma Access Systems.
SonoSite said it recently received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market and sell specialized ultrasound transducers equipped with AxoTrack technology.
