The Pintuition System
Localization gets you close. Pintuition navigates you precisely there.
Sirius Pintuition® is a wire-free localization system that actively navigates surgeons to the marker by providing real-time distance, direction and target-confirmation through intuitive audio and visual feedback. This helps surgeons choose the optimal surgical approach, while supporting precise excision and favorable cosmetic outcomes. Designed for robust, everyday use in the OR, Pintuition integrates seamlessly into existing workflows with a single calibration and compatibility with standard surgical instruments.
Audio and visual feedback
The base unit guides you with both visual and audible feedback toward the marker.
Single calibration
Calibrate once per case — no repeated recalibration mid-procedure.
Robust probe
Built for daily OR use: the Pintuition Slim Probe is designed to withstand drops and rough handling, and is reusable and resterilizable between cases.
Scheduling flexibility
FDA cleared for long-term placement in soft tissue including breast and axilla, so the marker can be placed on the day of surgery or weeks to months in advance, allowing flexible scheduling.MDR CE marked for long-term placement in soft tissue including breast and axilla, so the marker can be placed on the day of surgery or weeks to months in advance, allowing flexible scheduling.
Keep your instruments
A true magnetic sensor, not a metal detector — keep your standard steel instruments.
You are never lost with GPSDetect®.
Unlike localization systems that only provide general direction, GPSDetect® actively navigates surgeons to the marker. Through real-time distance, direction, and target confirmation with intuitive visual and audio feedback, surgeons can identify the optimal incision and surgical pathway, supporting favorable cosmetic and surgical outcomes.
From first signal to on-target confirmation
Distance
Know exactly when you’re on target
TargetLOC® gives surgeons confidence with immediate visual and audio confirmation when the probe is precisely aligned with the marker.
A recent study by Stanford (Chinn et al., Ann Surg Oncol, 2025) demonstrated a 21% reduction in operating room time (13 minutes per case) compared to radar-based localization, enabling increased throughput and reduced anesthesia exposure attributed to the TargetLOC feature.*

Pintuition Slim Probe
Perfect slim pinpoint detection of the Pintuition Marker.
- Perfect detection of the Pintuition Marker
- The same performance as the Pintuition Probe, at 12 mm diameter — 55% smaller
- Better tunneling due to longer working length enables indirect approaches and oncoplastic techniques such as hidden scar
- Ideal for tiny incisions and axillary procedures
- Validated for sterilization with both STERRAD and STERIS systems
Pintuition Probe
Perfect pinpoint detection of the Pintuition Marker.
- 50 mm of directional detection range
- Precision sensing that provides accurate navigation
- Single calibration before each procedure
- Handheld, reusable, durable and robust
- Validated for sterilization with both STERRAD and STERIS systems
Why Pintuition
Surgeons asked. We delivered.
Combining precise localization, intuitive navigation, and affordability in one easy-to-use system.
Target confirmation
No more estimating proximity. TargetLOC signals exactly when the probe is centered above the marker, before you resect.
Certainty before every resection
Visual and audio feedback
Audio and visual signals, simultaneously. You don’t have to watch a screen to know you’re on target, so your attention stays on the procedure.
Your full focus on the procedure
Reliable performance
A signal that can’t be deactivated by electrocautery or lost in fluid and hematoma. Consistent detection in every case.
Detection you can count on
Simple by design
A single calibration per procedure, and a probe built to survive daily OR use. In controlled testing, surgeons had the lowest mean localization error with Pintuition, despite having no prior experience, supporting the ease of adoption.†
Calibrate once, then go
Built for narrow access
At 12 mm in diameter — 55% smaller — and with a longer working length, the Pintuition Slim Probe reaches deep targets through narrow entries. Ideal for tiny incisions and the axilla.
Longer, narrower access
Approach from any angle
Reliable detection up to 50 mm regardless of marker orientation, so you can take your preferred approach to the target.†

Trust and Embrace Surgical Marker Navigation
Surgeons on TargetLOC® and the Pintuition System.
“I spend less time looking for the marker — TargetLOC tells me exactly where the target is.”
“Adding new technology with Surgical Marker Navigation to our breast cancer program further enhances our patient-centered care.”
“We can place our incision where we want it and still find the marker and the tumor quickly.”
“What surprised me about using the Pintuition device was how easy it was to train surgical trainees on the localization tool. The Pintuition system fit into my surgical workflow seamlessly.”
“Because of Pintuition, I can provide 360-degree care for my patients. Pintuition helps me achieve my goals for patients in terms of their comfort.”
“I find the Pintuition system very easy to use. It’s precise, it’s intuitive. I spend less time looking for the marker.”
“This is amazing, the speed of innovation at Sirius is just totally different.”
“Having both visual and audio directional feedback provides perfect navigation towards the tumor and allows me to perform an optimal oncoplastic lumpectomy while significantly improving and simplifying the surgical procedure.”
“We are pleased to use Sirius Pintuition with GPSDetect® for targeted soft tissue surgery.”
“With this new technique, the shortest path to the anomaly can be selected, and less tissue needs to be removed. This better preserves the breast, which is crucial for reconstruction.”
“The speed of innovation has been impressive, and the Sirius team did an amazing job of addressing surgical user feedback by introducing the GPSDetect® software.”
“Sirius Pintuition is really competitive with other technologies supporting surgeons during breast cancer conserving surgery.”
“This allows me to determine the shortest route to the tumor.”
“The new generation software for the Pintuition will be a game changer in my opinion.”
“We don't have to insert that magnetic seed on the day of the operation. This can be done days to weeks in advance. That is less hassle for patients.”
“Adding new technology with Surgical Marker Navigation to our breast cancer program further enhances our patient-centered care.”
“We are excited to work with Sirius Pintuition as a new partner in this field.”
“I only see advantages in it, you can operate more accurately which leads to better cosmetic outcomes.”
“It simply works every time.”
“This new probe with its small tip and long slim working length combined with navigation precision, is the perfect combination for my Hidden Scar™ surgeries.”
