About Bcon Medical
Amsterdam | December 2021
In more than 20% of the operated cancer patients, surgery is inadequate. In these cases, either surgical resection margins still show tumor cells or too much healthy tissue is removed or damaged. Tumor positive resection margins are a strong predictor for tumor recurrence, while damage to healthy tissue can result in long lasting complications such as urinary incontinence or sexual dysfunction. A surgeon has to balance between radical tumor resection and sparing healthy tissue. Bcon medical develops state-of-the-art navigation solutions to guide surgeons during complex surgical procedures. Our focus is on making electromagnetic navigation solutions available and affordable for all surgical oncology hospitals.
Next generation
This precise and safe guidance to the tumor location allows a higher percentage radical tumor resections and spares more healthy tissue, improving patient outcomes in surgical oncology. In addition, a full understanding of the surrounding anatomy and the position of the tumor increases decision taking during complex surgical procedures, decreasing procedure time.
“Advanced tracking of surgical instruments in the patient anatomy with state of the art sensor technology, the result of 8 years of research in clinical practice by surgeons, guides the surgical procedure with high precision.”
