Reduction of transitory hypocalcemia
Several clinical teams using FLUOBEAM® LX have demonstrated that the use of autofluorescence as a tracking tool during thyroid surgery leads to better preservation of the parathyroid glands And their functions and leads to a significant reduction in the rate of transient post-operative hypocalcemia.
Preservation of the parathyroid glands
On average, pathologists find that a parathyroid gland is inadvertently removed in 10% to 25% of thyroidectomies.
With the use of autofluorescence, these glands are identified and can be preserved in most cases.
More relocations
Autofluorescence can be coupled with the use of fluorescence imaging by injection of indocyanine green. This allows the identification of the vessels that supply the parathyroid glands and thus avoid any risk of devascularization.
In cases where the parathyroid glands could not be preserved, their identification by autofluorescence makes it possible to locate them in the removed specimen and to proceed to their reimplantation.
Joystick control: be the master of the game
The ergonomics of the FLUOBEAM® LX offers a simple and effortless handling from the sterile area. Its joystick allows the surgeon to navigate through the interface and access all the software’s functionalities.
You will be sensitive to his sensitivity
With its high sensitivity, FLUOBEAM® LX allows the detection of low intensity fluorescent signals (autofluorescence) with an unequaled real-time visualization comfort.
