LumiGuide 3D Device Guidance

Real-time, 3D device visualization using light instead of X-ray 

LumiGuide – powered by Fiber Optic RealShape technology – gives you unprecedented, full-shape 3D device1 visualization: from any angle, in real-time, with distinctive colors – and integrated into your known roadmap techniques.  By using the magic of light, you can work confidently and safely in an increasingly radiation-free lab. LumiGuide aims to take you “light years” beyond current standards, so you can see more, perform fast, stay safe – and push the boundaries of care for your patients.

A new era in 3D device guidance

Visualizing the full shape of devices inside the body. In real-time, from unrestricted viewing angles, with distinctive colors and in 3D. Providing clear visualization, from any angle, the time required for catheterization and cannulation in branched/complex endovascular aortic repair can be significantly reduced2. By using light instead of X-ray for device visualization, there should be considerably less radiation exposure for patients, operators and supporting staff3.
