Mission Statement
Our mission is to develop innovative technology with steering capability that will enable greater precision while targeting difficult to reach lung nodules.
Clinical Differentiation
Endobronchial tools that offer articulation at the distal tip to enable physicians to reach difficult targets with predictable tool positioning and enhanced precision, including those outside the airway.
Facts about Lung Cancer
Lung cancer (both small cell and non-small cell) is the second most common cancer ... and by far the leading cause of cancer death , making up almost 25% of all cancer deaths. 1
National Lung Screening Trial found that annual screening with Low-Dose Computed Tomography (LDCT) was associated with a 20% reduction in mortality in high risk patients.2
Pulmonary nodules are identified in approximately 1.6 million patients per year in the US3
U.S. Preventive Services Task Force advises that health care providers, and people at increased risk for lung cancer, follow the recently updated recommendations for annual lung cancer screening
These organizations recommend yearly lung cancer screening with LDCT scans for people who:
In addition, it’s important that people who are going to be screened:
