Precision Stepper
• The precision stepper enables the user to advance and retract an endo-rectal ultrasound probe in the rectum to image the prostate • The endo-rectal probe is inserted into and fixed to the stepper and positioned by moving the stepper/probe combination • Any endo-rectal probe from any producer can be fit to the stepper • Probe can be rotated around the probe's long axis (± 45°). The probe locks into the adjustable centre position • Movable length of the probe with the stepper: 100 mm • Scale for position recognition • Encoder available for automated Image acquisition • Step width: 2,5 mm or 5 mm selectable as well as free analog movement in and out of the rectum • Additional free analogue movement of the probe to define the exact starting point for stepwise movement: 50 mm • Template is movable (100 mm) in the direction parallel to the ER probe´s long axis and can be fixed in any position More Information (PDF)	Click for a larger view
