TRIOP
Tumor Resection Intra-Operative Probe
TRIOP is a miniaturized intraoperative probe specifically dedicated to the real-time delineation of tumor margins radiolabeled with positron emitters: after removing the main visible part of the radiolabeled tumor, the probe is inserted into the operating cavity; it measures the marker concentration so that potential tumor residues can be localised.
Increasing patients lifespan and quality of life, by improving exeresis quality and accuracy, while reducing surgical operations duration time is a clinical challenge. The most complete tumoral curettage possible has to be performed, avoiding damage to healthy tissues.
To answer this need, TRIOP is specially designed to be coupled to the soft or hard excision tool, leading to simultaneous detection and removal of tumor.
Using positron emitters makes it possible to complete pre-operative diagnostic imaging (Positron emission tomography), intraoperative guidance and post-operative control of exeresis quality with the same marker, in an integrated approach.
