OncoSmart ProGuide Needles and Obturators

The range of OncoSmart ProGuide needles has been designed for interstitial applications in combination with image-based planning protocols using for instance CT and MR imaging. They are made from a high-quality plastic and are specifically developed for use with Nucletron afterloaders.

ProGuide needles are available with either a sharp tip to enable easy penetration of the skin surface, or with a round tip for maximum patient safety during treatment. Rigidity of the plastic ProGuide needle is created by placing an obturator inside the needle during insertion.

ProGuide needles come sterilized to simplify the workflow in the clinic. The OncoSmart ProGuide CT-Markers are designed to indicate the first source positions on CT-images of ProGuide interstitial needle implants. The markers fit needle diameters from 4F to 6F and are kept in place during imaging by means of a built-in locking mechanism.

The markers are reusable and can be autoclaved. Each marker length has a unique color-coded knob.

• Flexibility in use
• Compatible with state-of-the-art imaging modalities
