The St. Louis, Mo.-based company’s products, the Spin thoracic navigation system and the SpinPerc have the goal of the early diagnosis of lung cancer.
The thoracic navigation system is an electromagnetic navigation platform that allows physicians to biopsy solitary pulmonary nodules.
SpinPerc is a hybrid lung cancer diagnostic procedure that combines navigational bronchoscopy and percutaneous navigation, to give physicians more tools in a single procedure to diagnose early stage lung cancer. — Michael Cipriano
