Biopsy and Tumor-Marking Disposables

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 07 Dec 2005
Two disposable minimally invasive instruments, a needle biopsy system specifically developed for obtaining histologically viable tissue material, and a tumor localization-and-marking set, were presented at the Medica show in Dusseldorf (Germany) in November 2005.

Quick-Shot, a semi-automatic needle biopsy system, was specially developed for obtaining histologically usable tissue material from soft parts and organs. More...
It offers the surgeon the option of two different biopsy material quantities. This is particularly useful for gentle withdrawal of tissue in smaller lesions. The system is very light and can be used with a single-handed technique. The nontraumatic needle has centimeter markings and can be used in conjunction with ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) imaging systems.

Tuloc is designed for the preoperative marking of tumors and was developed for use with mammography. The monofilament marking wire has very high pressure stability and allows usage even in areas of strong calcification.

Both products were developed by Somatex Medical Technologies (Teltow, Germany) as an extension of its current product range. Somatex specializes in the development and manufacturing of disposable, minimally invasive instruments in the areas of tumor ablation, vertebroplasty, biopsy, and oncology. The company focuses on instruments for minimally invasive operations using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
