IOPS®
Intra-Operative Positioning System
A New Way to Envision Endovascular Navigation
Centerline Biomedical’s Intra-Operative Positioning System (IOPS®) technology is an innovative, 3D GPS-like surgical navigation technology that improves endovascular procedure outcomes and reduces radiation exposure.

IOPS® ADVANTAGE
Time Reduction
A recent in vitro study found that, overall, the mean time necessary to cannulate a given vessel using 3D navigation was 53.4% of the time necessary using traditional 2D navigation, indicating a time savings of 46.6%
IOPS® ADVANTAGE
Improved Visualization Leads to Better Outcomes
Patient outcomes are improved as we reduce procedural times with better visualization, greater control, and real-time position navigation data.
IOPS® ADVANTAGE
Mitigate the Growing Risk of Radiation Exposure and Contrast Dye
As endovascular procedures become more complex, the risk of radiation exposure continues to increase.

IOPS® Components
“Compared to standard imaging, we cut the procedural time by more than half during a preclinical study. Especially in complex interventions, every minute counts, and this should translate to the ability to treat more patients at less cost, with a simultaneous increase in precision safety.”
