Verza^™ Needle Guidance System for VerzaLink^™ Transducers

Verza^™ Guidance System

• Improved needle visualization¹
• Reduced needle manipulation, tissue trauma and patient discomfort¹
• Improved clinical confidence when directing interventional instruments¹
• Enables a reproducible technique compared to a free-hand guided procedure²
• Reduced number of instrument passes, lessening the risk of complication³
• Obtains adequate sample of diagnosis and use by a pathologist, improving biopsy yield³
• Reduced number of instrument re-directs³, saving time¹ and improving patient satisfaction⁴
