SGNIO Percutaneous Intervention Robot

SGNIO stands as Hanglok-Tech’s flagship percutaneous intervention robot, engineered to enhance precision in CT-guided lung biopsies and tumor ablation procedures. The system integrates multi-loop feedback control technology to process diverse intraoperative data and generate optimized control outcomes for surgical interventions.

Product Overview

Developed to address the challenges of manual CT-guided percutaneous procedures, SGNIO provides surgeons with enhanced precision and stability during needle placement. The system targets applications in lung cancer diagnosis where accurate tissue sampling determines treatment pathways. Traditional CT-guided biopsies rely heavily on physician skill and experience; SGNIO aims to standardize outcomes through robotic assistance.

The product received the Governor Cup Gold Award in recognition of its design innovation, validating the technical approach Hanglok-Tech has taken in developing interventional robotics.
