Mauna Kea Technologies
French medical device company
Mauna Kea Technologies is a French company specializing in the development and commercialization of medical devices for the healthcare industry. The company is renowned for its innovative approach to endomicroscopy, a technique that allows for real-time microscopic imaging of tissues inside the body. This technology is particularly useful in the fields of gastroenterology, pulmonology, and urology.
History[edit | edit source]
Mauna Kea Technologies was founded in 2000 by Sacha Loiseau, a physicist with a vision to revolutionize the way physicians diagnose and treat diseases. The company is headquartered in Paris, France, and has grown to become a leader in the field of endomicroscopy.
Technology[edit | edit source]
The core technology developed by Mauna Kea Technologies is the Cellvizio system, which is a probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) platform. This system allows physicians to obtain microscopic images of tissues in real-time during endoscopic procedures. The Cellvizio system is designed to enhance the diagnostic capabilities of endoscopists by providing them with detailed images that can reveal cellular structures and abnormalities.
Cellvizio System[edit | edit source]
The Cellvizio system consists of a laser scanning unit and a variety of miniprobes that can be inserted through standard endoscopes. These miniprobes are capable of capturing images at a cellular level, providing valuable information that can aid in the diagnosis of conditions such as Barrett's esophagus, pancreatic cysts, and lung cancer.
