SENSOR MINIATURIZATION

Ascension supports a full range of sensors for minimally invasive procedures. Its custom 0.3 mm sensor, pictured at right, is the smallest magnetic sensor in the world. It is available to medical device companies only developing vascular, urological and cardiac procedures.

TRANSMITTER OPTIONS

Short-Range Transmitter
20-36 cm X 8-15 cm Y, Z coverage

Set-Up & Use: This small, lightweight transmitter is often mounted on an articulated arm that can be brought close to the sensors. Especially useful for high accuracy medical applications.

Mid-Range Transmitter
20-61cm X 15-30 cm Y, Z coverage

Set-Up & Use: Our mid-range transmitter is ideal for desktop applications in environments containing conductive metals.

Flat Transmitter "Metal-Immune"
±20 cm X, Y -10--46 cm Z coverage

Set-Up & Use: Our flat transmitter is unobtrusively placed beneath a patient to negate any possible distortion of measurements by ferrous metal in an OR or procedural table beneath its flat surface.
