IMAGING TO GUIDE CHOLECYSTECTOMIES

Discover the clinical benefits of active imaging with intraoperative ultrasound for laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures. Using bkActiv and the Advanced Laparoscopic Transducer, surgeons can visualize anatomy and monitor progress as many times as needed during the procedure.

Watch this video to see how it works.

CLEAR IMAGES. NO RADIATION. FAST.

Intraoperative ultrasound is comparable to intraoperative cholangiography for imaging cholecystectomies1

Intraoperative ultrasound is non-radiating, helping you reduce radiation hazards to your patients and staff

Intraoperative ultrasound supports imaging of the biliary system during cholecystectomies

CASE STUDY

This case study walks through the steps of using intraoperative ultrasound in a laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedure performed by Mr. Somaiah Aroori, MB BS, MS (Surg), FRCS (Gen Surg), a consultant hepatobiliary and renal transplant surgeon at Derriford Hospital and University Hospital Plymouth in the UK. Throughout the procedure, bkActiv provided real-time information that cannot otherwise be obtained from preoperative imaging.

ADVANCED LAPAROSCOPIC TRANSDUCER I13C3f*
EXPLORE THE 3D INTERACTIVE MODEL

Provides high-resolution imaging for clear visualization of anatomy, with 4-way flexible tip allowing good organ contact and access to difficult-to-reach areas, a laser feature ideal for visualizing needle trajectory, and specially designed needle guidance channels.
