CT guiding device
The first simple sketch of SeeStar® was made on a napkin in 1999. SeeStar® now comes in four color coded sizes, developed to assist you in CT guiding.
- Visualize and adjust the planned CT-guided biopsy before entering the needle
- Reduce the number of needle manipulations1
- Support the needle during superficial punctures
- Maintain the direction of the needle during puncture
