ADDITIONAL SOFT TISSUE BIOPSY DEVICES

Easy-to-Use, Lightweight, One-handed Design
Smooth, one-handed operation, making it ideal for ultrasound guided biopsy.

Delayed Firing Option
Allows you to visualize needle placement within a lesion before capturing the sample tissue.

Coaxial Introducer
Enables multiple sampling from one percutaneous puncture with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.

Echogenic Markings
Help to confirm the placement of the sample notch for precise ultrasound positioning.

Compact, Lightweight Design
Enhanced design makes this device ideal for ultrasound-guided procedures.

Automatic Firing Mode
Releases the cannula and stylet in rapid sequence and captures a tissue sample with one push of a button.

Delay Firing Mode
Lets you verify the position of the sample notch in the target area before activating the cutting cannula.

Zero-throw Mode
Offers precision and reduces the threat of damage to deeper tissue with no forward throw of the needle.

Quality Samples
Two notch sizes (10 or 20 mm) provide controlled, precise sampling.

Advanced Design
Four-bevel tip is significantly sharp for quick, easy penetration.

Ergonomic 
Ergonomically-contoured body and soft, pliable finger grips provide increased comfort.

Flexible Sizing
Available in a wide range of gauges and sizes, including 14 to 20 G.

Notch Sizing
Features a 9 to 19 mm notch size with an adjustable coaxial bolt and corresponding measurement indicator.

Core Sizing 
Tissue settles in notch before firing for a larger core sample.

Ultrasound/CT Imaging Compatibility
Compact, lightweight design passes through CT with ease, while one-handed operation allows convenient manipulation of ultrasound transducer.

Repositioning 
Stylet can be repositioned prior to sample capture for greater confidence.

Quality Samples
Features a 20 mm sample notch.

Advanced Design
The lightweight, compact design may help reduce tissue shear.

Ultrasound/CT Imaging Compatibility
Echogenic cannula markings allow precise ultrasound positioning, and centimeter markings assist needle placement.

Flexible Sizing
Available in a wide range of gauges and sizes, including 14 to 22 G.

Scalpel-Sharp
Scalpel-sharp, surgical-steel cutting edge that retrieves cleanly cut, high-quality specimens.

Depth Markings
Centimeter depth markings to assist in needle placement.

Thin-Wall Needle
Thin-wall needle to yield larger core.

Multiple Sampling
Removable stylet for multiple sampling capability.

BioSentry® Tract Sealant System

PLUG. PREVENT. PROTECT.

BioSentry Tract Sealant System is the first biopsy sealant system of its kind designed specifically to address the issues of biopsy-related pneumothorax. The system deploys a self-expanding hydrogel plug into the pleural space following a percutaneous lung biopsy. This creates an airtight seal that closes the pleural puncture and provides accuracy in marking a biopsy location for visualization during surgical resection.

CLINICAL STUDIES

MD Anderson Cancer Center denotes a 61% reduction in chest tubes1

  • 37% reduction of pneumothorax and 61% reduction of chest tube placement
  • Although the BioSentry System was more frequently used in high-risk patients in the unmatched group, it still demonstrated reduced risk of pneumothorax
  • Use of BioSentry System presents a standardized method for mitigating complications post CT-guided lung biopsy for clinicians

All-comers study demonstrates 80% reduction in chest tube insertion rates when using the BioSentry System2

  • The treatment group demonstrated a significant reduction in chest tube placements
  • With the BioSentry System, patients experienced an 83% reduction in average time of hospital stay post CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy
