guidoo

 Let guidoo guide you 

The robotic surgical assistant

guidoo shows its strengths in percutaneous biopsies and ablative procedures. In the operating room, the system supports the positioning of interventional needles.

The combination of robot precision and medical expertise simplifies complex procedures and reduces iterations.

The system increases the accuracy rate, thereby reducing control scans and saving time. Tests show that guidoo increases confidence when placing needles, improving the success of the procedure.

Why? guidoo convinces by...

Speed¹

  • Up to 50% time savings when positioning interventional needles.
  • This pays off quickly, especially for interventions with multiple needles or extreme insertion angles.
  • Variance in treatment duration decreases - interventions can be better planned

Precision

  • Reliable navigation and positioning based on imaging data.2
  • Very high path fidelity of the planned trajectory, virtually without angular adjustments - minimizing collateral tissue damage.2
  • Extensive tests show that the accuracy of the interventions is at least as high as without robotic assistance.3

Simplicity

  • During a biopsy, guidoo's robotic arm guides the needle sleeve to the planned puncture site.
  • The assistance system accelerates the exact placement, after which a human hand takes over and inserts the needle into the tissue. This increases the accuracy rate and reduces control scans.1
  • Incidentally, tests show that guidoo increases confidence when placing needles, improving the success of the procedure.3

¹ Extensive usability tests conducted in ex-vivo as well as in-vivo settings have shown that guidoo supports needle placement with increased accurary rates, an intervention time of less than 20 minutes with low deviation in the interventional time and a reduced number of control scans.

2 guidoo is tested vigorously for placement and superimposition accuracy with each installation.
