Active Needle

Active Needle Technology develops ultrasonic needle actuating devices designed to improve visibility and precision during ultrasound-guided interventional procedures such as cancer biopsies, drug delivery, and regional anesthesia. The technology utilizes Doppler mode to create a color-coded map of needle velocity, helping clinicians avoid critical deep-tissue structures and reduce needle penetration force. The company targets the special purpose needle market, specifically aiming to reduce errors and re-admissions associated with misplaced needle placements.
