Lucent Medical Systems has developed and commercialized a permanent-magnet sensing technology for real-time, 3D localization, tracking, and navigation of catheters and other medical devices during medical procedures – a technology currently used in over 1.5 million patient procedures per year. Lucent’s technology has helped eliminate the need for radiographic confirmation of device placement in those procedures.

Lucent has also developed SAGE, a new, near-field, low-frequency electromagnetic tracking technology, expanding the opportunities for device tracking and navigation during a variety of additional medical procedures. Lucent’s new technology is available for license to device manufacturers in select medical fields.
