Ultrasound based Technology for needle guidance

The dedicated Stimuplex Onvision Needle with embedded tip sensor allows the exact detection of the tip location and display this information in real time on the live Xperius Ultrasound image.  Needle tip tracking can be used for 2D Mode with the Nerve 0‑4 cm and the Nerve 4‑6 cm preset on the L12-4 transducer and Nerve 6+ cm presets on the C5-2 transducer.

Technical working principle

The Onvision system detects the exact location of the Stimuplex Onvision tip sensor using the three dimensional space of the Ultrasound beam. The technology combines ultrasound image data from the ultrasound system with signals from the needle to accurately locate the position of the sensor on the Onvision Needle. This projects the position of the sensor by overlaying a circle over it on the ultrasound image in real time.

Ultrasound based technology is designed to improve accuracy

• Onvision works up to 10 cm¹
• Onvision is shielded against electromagnetic interferences (EMI)⁴
• Onvision is accurate even when the needle bends³

Needle guidance to the point

Onvision is a straightforward-to-adopt ultrasound guidance system. The needle tip position is indicated by circles that are displayed on the ultrasound image. The circles appear automatically when the needle tip sensor enters the imaging plane.

Onvision helps to see the needle tip and to master the needle beam alignment. With Onvision, users experience a real time guidance which gives them confidence in block success when performing both in and out-of-plane blocks.²
