20 mm sample notch with thin-wall cannula ensures larger tissue cores.
-
Echogenic markings on stylet tip and cannula for precise ultrasound-guided positioning.
-
Ideal for CT and ultrasound-guided procedures.
Convenience & Design
-
35% lighter than comparable devices, reducing operator fatigue.
-
One-handed operation simplifies use and facilitates manipulation of ultrasound transducers.
-
Available with or without a coaxial introducer needle for multiple samples via a single puncture.
Reliability & Quality
