SureTouch

Just as a digital camera captures the sense of sight, SureTouch tactile sensing technology captures the sense of touch and displays it as a three-dimensional image.

SureTouch is a small, hand-held device that glides smoothly across an uncompressed breast. Its highly sensitive internal receptor, which is up to four times as sensitive as human palpation, generates a 3-dimensional visual map of lesions within the breast, which are then displayed and stored on a small laptop computer. If a mass is detected, SureTouch will show its estimated size, shape, hardness and location.

SureTouch creates a digital, permanent and reproducible image of the findings. Patients can see these images during and after the exam, and any concerns can be discussed with the physician immediately. Over time, repeated SureTouch examinations can help monitor any changes within the breast tissue.

A sterile, disposable sheath covers the probe and a non-toxic, non-irritating lubricant keeps patients comfortable while the SureTouch™ passes over target areas. There are no harmful x-rays, no vises that flatten the breasts and no uncomfortable physical contact.
