Wellington Regional Medical Center has acquired the cutting-edge Ion Endoluminal System, a robotic-assisted technology for minimally invasive bronchoscopy procedures, allowing doctors to diagnose and treat lung cancer earlier than before.


Created by Intuitive, the company behind the da Vinci system, the Ion system enables physicians to explore deeply into the peripheral lung with unmatched stability and precision. With its improved biopsy capabilities, Ion provides a significant advantage in detecting and treating lung nodules.
