Precision Needle Guidance System

Health & Safety
WO/2025/231280

Summary

The problem the invention solves

Current needle guidance systems lack precision, often requiring two hands for operation and posing risks of incorrect placement which can lead to patient harm. They struggle with accuracy in procedures involving small targets or sensitive areas.

The core features of the invention

The invention introduces a semi-automatic needle guidance system combining sensors and central processing units (CPU) to guide needles with precision. It includes an automatic trajectory control process through sensors communicating with a needle to predict paths efficiently.

The inventive step

The system uniquely integrates real-time imaging sensors with CPU-controlled needle guidance, enabling automatic trajectory adjustment and precision for single-operator use, unlike traditional manual systems.

The tangible benefits

It reduces the risk of incorrect needle placement, increases efficiency of medical procedures, and improves patient safety by enabling precision in areas previously difficult to access.

The broader impact

This system could transform medical procedures across various fields by improving safety and reducing time, potentially lowering healthcare costs. It's adaptable to a range of procedures, enhancing hospital operational efficiencies without extensive training.
