Insituvue's Sonic Flashlight, a new medical device developed in Pittsburgh, helps insert needles on the first stick, reports Pop City.
Insituvue--insitu is a medical term that means in place--plans to market two versions of the product. The first, to be launched early next year, is a battery-powered caddy. The second version will be a more compact, handheld version of the same product.
"Our tool is not intended as a diagnostic tool. It's an aid to interventional procedures," explains Rosensteel. "This allows professionals to see the needle at the point of entry and avoid putting it in the wrong place. It will decrease overall procedure time, lower cost and lower risk."
