Supporting flow diverter device sizing and positioning for intercranial aneurysm treatments

Precision & Predictability

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.

Supporting Clinical Workflows

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.

Optimizing aneurysm management selection
Seamlessly share online simulations with device manufacturers and peers before, during of after the procedure

Seamlessly integrated solutions

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.

Clinically validated with >130 retrospective patient cases

Sizing support in 4 simple steps

Ease of implementation

1

Import/Upload Data

Simple-to-use module to load DICOM images and/or 3D surface models from the patient’s vasculature.

2

Simulate

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.

3

Device sizing selection

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.

4

Simulation sharing
(Web Only)

When the simulated device deployment is saved, the user can share the results among manufacturers, distributors and clinicians for case planning.
