US-based firm company Dilon Technologies has unveiled its new purple Navigator 2.0 gamma probe system for sentinel lymph node biopsy.
Nicknamed as the Barney Box, the new generation Navigator system is simple to operate with reliability for long-use, and the probes can be sterilised with major sterilisation methods.
The device is composed of steel, which offers value among other gamma probes available in the market.
The wireless navigator system can be used over a extended period as it features advanced lithium ion battery, which supports more than ten hours of continuous use in the operating room.
Each section of the system is fitted with two batteries, which can be powered-up in the charging station.
The charging of the system is enabled without the need of a power cord, which reduces wire-related inconveniences in the operating room.
