LumiGuide offers a ground-breaking way of visualizing the full shape of devices inside the body. In real-time, from unrestricted viewing angles, with distinctive colors and in 3D. “LumiGuide simplifies navigation in tortuous vessels.” Technical note JET, Jan 2022
Perform fast
Through clear visualization, from any angle, the time required for catheterization and cannulation in branched/complex endovascular aortic repair can be significantly reduced. 37% procedure time reduction during complex aortic procedures (LumiGuide compared to fluoroscopy) Single-center historical cohort comparison JVS, Nov 2022
Stay safe
By using light instead of X-ray for device visualization, there should be considerably less radiation exposure for patients, operators and supporting staff. ̴ 70% reduction in Fluoroscopy rate observed during navigation of complex aortic procedures (When using LumiGuide) Interim analysis report of FORS Learn Registry Bart Wessels; Philips, May 2023 Philips LEARN Registry, May 2022

Our journey and the latest evidence
A growing community
During the limited-edition phase, Fiber Optic RealShape technology was successfully deployed in more than 900 clinical cases at key sites. During this period, we learned a great deal from how it was used by leading interventionalists.
It’s now time for the next phase, in which new pioneers will help us discover what the wonders of light can achieve. LumiGuide is 510(k) cleared, and is available in the USA. For more information on the sites selected for this new release, please get in touch at: LumiGuide_inquiries@philips.com
