Awarded a U.S. Patent covering the company’s NaviSci™ System for the minimally invasive localization and resection of lung and other cancers with real-time margin control. The NaviSci System is designed to enable the physician to know precisely where the target tumor and surrounding tissue are in relation to the surgical instrumentation in real time and guide the surgeon on margin distance for excising the nodule.
