A universally applicable echogenic sheath
Encapson is developing its first own product line called “Sono-Sheath™”. It is a thin polymer sheath that can be placed over any manual or (semi) automated biopsy needle.
An echogenic sheath providing instant ultrasound visibility to any biopsy needle is a totally novel product concept, creating a whole new market segment of disposable echogenic add-on products.
The Sono-Sheath™ product line will soon be completed with models for Vascular Access and Brachytherapy needles.
Visualizing the needle during US-guided biopsies is a clinical challenge. Poor needle visibility leads to multiple failed passes, tissue damage and false-negative biopsy outcomes resulting in delayed cancer treatment and reduced life expectancy
Sono-Sheath™ is a universally applicable echogenic sheath providing on the spot, unmatched ultrasound visibility to any biopsy needle
Physicians continue to use their favorite biopsy needle
the “on-demand” concept of the sheath allows selective use in more difficult patients
