Technology Highlights

• The device causes weak traumatism to the patient that allows to carry out several micro-analyses or micro-samplings to a patient at regular intervals to follow the evolution of a cancer, an inflammation, an infection, a neurodegenerative disease or the good graft retention of an organ in a patient.
• The device has spots formed by the structuration of the surface and are situated at the surface of the guide so that these spots are directly in contact with the fluids, the tissues and the cells.
• The device diameter at its extremity is weak enough to allow the simplified navigation in the blood circulation or in the natural cavities.
• The device, because of the use of a metallic guide, is rigid enough at its functionalized extremity to efficiently perforate a tissue or an organ.
• Because of the nature of the metallic guide, the device presents an improved imagery signal that simplify the radioguidance of the device at the time of the intervention to the target tissue or organ.
• The device can be associated with an optical fiber instead of metallic guide allowing a fine in situ visualization, in view of the in vivo capture of the elements necessary to the diagnostic and eventually to the prognosis evaluation.
• The optical fiber properties can be used with the device for the purpose of marking imagery and of setting of the device from the in situ visualization.
