The universal articulate arm SoLo B is used as a stabliser for theraptic applications. The arm is a novel fully flexible system that can be positioned freely by just pulling the trigger on the arm handle. An optional elevation and swivel device integrated into the arm handle is available.
The precision stepper enables the user to advance and retract an endo-rectal ultrasound probe in the rectum to image the prostrate.
- The endo-rectal probe is inserted into and fixed to the stepper and positioned by moving the stepper/probe combination.
- The stepper can be fitted to any endo-rectal problem from any producer.
- The probe can be rotated around the probe's long axis (±80°, probe dependent). The probe locks into the adjustable centre position).
- Movable length of the probe with the stepper: 100mm
- Scale for position recognition
- Step width: 2.5mm or 5mm selectable as well as free analog movement forward and back.
- Additional free analog movement of the probe to define the exact stating point for stepwise movement: 50mm.
- Optionally, two incremental encoders for the electronic transfer of the rotational or longitudinal position of the probe to an attached LDR/HDR planning system is available.
- The template is movable (100mm) in the direction parallel to the ER probe's long axis and can be fixed in any position.
The simple to use stepper-stabliser-template combination is extremely compact and robust. It is attached to one or side rail only and thus never in the way during treatment.
The stabliser supports the stepper. The stabliser is connected to the side rail of an OR table by a universal table holder fitting to any OR-table.
