The ClearPoint Neuro Navigation Platform for Biopsy
The ClearPoint Neuro Navigation System, with MR-conditional biopsy needles, provides real-time visualization via MRI guidance. This allows neurosurgeons to visualize the biopsy site intra-procedurally to confirm lack of hemorrhage, as well as perform additional biopsies to help secure a definitive diagnosis.

SmartFrame Array® Neuro Navigation System
Designed to streamline Biopsy, Laser Catheter Insertion, and Drug Delivery procedures – and enable more workflow options
The SmartFrame Array® offers stability and flexibility for neuro navigation, with a highly rigid frame and an “array” of six offset channels to simplify multi-trajectory procedures and entry point adjustments. The Array software provides an intuitive user interface, with options for performing entire procedures in the MRI, or starting in the operating room.
“The SmartFrame Array system offers a more rigid and compact build to enhance procedural efficiency while maintaining accuracy. The design supports multi-trajectory stereotaxis, allowing novel clinical applications.”
