BEAMS: cancerous tumor residue detection and removal probe
Revolutionizing the future of oncology with precision-engineered solutions – Beams creates a surgical probe that transforms cancer treatment
Project abstract
Beams is developing TRIOP, a surgical probe designed to ensure residual tumor elimination by combining beta particle detection and suction device. It provides surgeons with real-time, precise localization of tumor tissues, improving the accuracy and outcomes of cancer surgeries.
Beams asked Kickmaker to redesign TRIOP’s technological architecture. Our approach focused on optimizing the component integration to enhance the probe’s precision and sensitivity for detecting tumor cells.
