Braided Device Sizing Support Application
Ankyras predicts the device foreshortening for patient-specific aneurysm treatment planning with 94% average accuracy
The solution, available on Desktop, Web, or Mobile, provides simulated results in a user-friendly interface that promotes communication between healthcare professionals and device manufacturers to support and simplify device sizing.
Supported by various validation studies and a robust algorithm, Ankyras provides users with highly detailed anatomical information and allows the simulation of the user's desired flow diverters (FD) in the target vessel for device sizing and positioning assessment / to accurately assess device sizing and positioning.
A unique sizing concept providing valuable insights about the patients medical case. With Ankyras, physicians can interact with the curves, shapes, and push zones of the vessel, to help define the best treatment strategy for the patient. It also facilitates the communication and understanding between device manufacturers and physicians, maximizing safety and efficiency for patient treatment.
Ankyras is Mentice's first device to receive CE Mark and FDA approvals. With over 25 years of experience, Mentice offers a unique integration of virtual and physical platforms for medical device and procedural training. This includes hands-on possibilities, online simulations, and communication with manufacturers and peers for patient-specific treatment discussion and device feedback.
Accurate visualization of device foreshortening and final position
Ability to share simulation through online portal, enabling collaboration between physicians and device manufacturer
Easy selection of the best suited device and its distal position for the best possible flow diversion effect
Assessment of stent-wall apposition and local porosity to allow for detailed investigations of different flow diverters
Flow diverter telescoping functionality for complex cases
Vessel morphology characterization of the aneurysm region
Ease of implementation
Simple-to-use module to load DICOM images and/or 3D surface models from the patient’s vasculature.
Ankyras facilitates a multi-faceted environment accessed via desktop, web, and mobile providing operating physicians with convenience and immediate access ranging from pure visualization to complete workflow control.
The workflow is run before the intervention with diagnostic 3D images and can be brought to the operating room using standard mobile devices.
Simulate the desired FD devices with a unique foreshortening algorithm and compare the results among the different sizes to predict the most suitable device for the patient.
When the simulated device deployment is saved, the user can share the results among manufacturers, distributors and clinicians for case planning.
