Medulla Pro offers the world’s first real-time needle ultrasound-guided device that is accurate, easy to use, and safe. It drastically eliminates the traumatic incidents for the patients and cut down the procedural time significantly
The simple and practical device explores unique ultrasound deflection methodology for real-time, calibrated, accurate needle entry into the lumbar. It enhances the experience of the patient undergoing the procedure and improves the confidence of clinicians administering it.
Medulla Pro is developing the system in partnership with the National Healthcare Group (one of the major health care clusters in Singapore) and Trendlines Labs.

Lumbar puncture is an invasive procedure used to access the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space in the spine to investigate neurological disorders or to administer therapeutic or diagnostic agents.
There are an estimated 75 million lumbar and epidural procedures performed annually. Conventional methods such as palpation, ultrasound, and fluoroscopy are less accurate, complex, and not easily accessible.
