ABOUT CLEAR GUIDE MEDICAL

Clear Guide Medical, a privately-held company headquartered in Baltimore, MD, develops innovative technologies to provide Computer-Assisted Image Guidance (CAIG) for needle-based interventions. By using CAIG, the Clear Guide ONE enables clinical personnel to see the needle or catheter path on the ultrasound display before entering the patient body. Understanding the correct angle at which to insert needles or catheters into the body is essential to good clinical outcomes. The Clear Guide ONE adapts to most commercial ultrasounds, increasing the utility of that equipment. Clinical studies to quantify the performance improvements of clinicians using the Clear Guide ONE are currently underway.

The Clear Guide ONE and the Clear Guide EDU training system are currently available for sale in the United States, the European Union and Canada by contacting [email protected].
