ARC medical technology – Adjustable-stiffness steerable needle for image-guided interventions

Adjustable-stiffness steerable needle for image-guided interventions

Built for complex trajectories, ARC enables precise targeting, obstacle avoidance, and multi-site access from a single insertion. Intended for ablation, biopsy, fiducial placement, and targeted drug delivery.
