Resitu biopsy device for breast lesions
Resitu's first product in development is an electrosurgical instrument intended for sampling of breast tissue during a breast biopsy procedure.
The instrument is a sterile, single-use device intended for use by radiologists and surgeons.
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 1 x 3 cm 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 during biopsy
- 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
