Large biopsies with preserved structure
The device will extract larger tissue specimens than any other instrument, including core needle biopsy and vacuum assisted biopsy needles, extracting tissues of 9 x 30 mm in size, intact with preserved structure.
Minimal tissue damage from unique combination of vacuum and electrosurgery
- Blunt dissection reduces risks of tissue damage and bleeding
- Electrosurgical capability enables fine cuts and immediate coagulation
Prevention of lesion development
- The immediate coagulation prevents further nutrition to the lesion.
- Complete encapsulation of the lesion to prevent seeding
- Removal of lesion at first visit saves time and prevents further lesion growth
