Industry Insights webinar by SinglePass

Percutaneous lung biopsy is effective and widely used, but complication rates still vary widely by technique, device, and care setting — leaving real room for innovation in how the biopsy tract itself is managed. In this webinar, presented in collaboration with the Society of Interventional Radiology, two leading experts in lung care will walk through the clinical and economic realities of managing these complications — and share early data on a new approach: sealing the biopsy tract using thermal cautery.

Attendees will hear the mechanism behind thermal tract ablation, see lab and case-based evidence of its effect on post biopsy tract management, and get a first look at early outcomes from UCLA and the B-SAFE cohort using the SinglePass device. The session closes with a live Q&A moderated by Dr. Misono, where attendees can put questions directly to the presenting physicians.
