Components

• Electronics unit
• DC magnetic field transmitter
• 8 mm, 2.0 mm, and 1.5 mm sensors (outer diameters)
• Preamps



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.

Electronics unit with multiple interfaces
to host medical computers.





Ascension sensors for intrabody
navigation have been reduced in
diameter to less than 0.5 mm.





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.
