Intraoperative Ultrasound Probe 8666-RF: Precision and Adaptability
The BK Medical 8666-RF probe is designed to deliver high-quality imaging in an intraoperative setting. Used in surgery, it allows healthcare professionals to access detailed visualization of tissues, thereby enhancing the precision of medical procedures. Its design is tailored to meet the needs of surgeons and radiologists specializing in interventional procedures.
One of the primary advantages of the 8666-RF is its flexible tip, capable of adjustments in four directions (up, down, left, right) up to a 90° angle. This flexibility aids in adapting to different patient anatomies and the specific requirements of surgical procedures. The probe is equipped with control levers and switches for easy adjustment of the tip orientation.
The 8666-RF is suitable for contrast imaging and allows for the acquisition of 3D images in free mode. This functionality provides a detailed view of anatomical structures, essential for planning and executing precise medical procedures. During aspiration and biopsy interventions, a guidance line overlaid on the screen facilitates needle insertion, ensuring a controlled and safe approach.
In minimally invasive surgery, the 8666-RF is used with a trocar with a minimum diameter of 10 mm. For better image quality, it is recommended to apply sterile gel to the probe tip or introduce a small amount of saline into the protective sheath.
Another key application area for the probe is radiofrequency (RF) ablation. During these procedures, it is crucial to ensure optimal alignment of the needle within the probe channel to avoid friction. Proper needle positioning helps prevent unintended retraction of the probe tip during retraction.
The 8666-RF is subject to strict cleaning and disinfection protocols to avoid cross-contamination risks. After each use, thorough cleaning of the channels and surfaces is essential, especially following interventional procedures involving needles.
The design of the 8666-RF complies with current medical and regulatory standards. It should only be used with BK Medical equipment to ensure optimal and safe operation.
