FNAB ( fine needle aspiration biopsy ) procedures, large quantities of cells are lost, captured inside the cannula or the syringe, thus dramatically decreasing diagnostic accuracy of the sample.

Since 1984, with Histo-Cut^®, we have substantially decreased this problem making recovery of cells from the cannula possible.

FULL-OPTY^® makes full recovery of cells from the syringe possible as well. Among the several features of FULL-OPTY^®: ease of use, high reliability and high rate of diagnostic performance, increasing the diagnostic success rate.

• DOUBLE SAMPLING (cytological and micro-histologic) THROUGH SINGLE PUNCTURE:
  High diagnostic accuracy within hepatic diseases and hepatocarcinoma with cirrosis;
  decrease of risks connected to hemo-coagulation.
• SAC® ( Stereo Abrasive Cytology ) RECOVERY OF CYTOLOGICAL SAMPLING (*):
  Free from stroma (always present within coring needles) with improved sensibility to
  cytological diagnosis.
• NO RISK FOR MALIGNANT CELLS SEEDING (caused by standard echo-markers) and FULL ULTRASOUND VISUALIZATION
• AUTOMATICALLY VACUUM ASSISTED:
  Ergonomic and enhanced ease of use.
• IFR^® ( Internal Flushing Rescue ) CELLS RECOVERY FROM SYRINGE’S LUMEN:
  Recovery of ALL cells usually lost in the procedure: full diagnostic capability.

FULL-OPTY^® is available also in specific sets for CT and MRI guided procedure.

Centimetre marks and sliding stopper allow an easy depth placement. Sterile, single-patient use.

SPRING-CUT^®DC represents the latest generation of semi-automatic guillotine-type biopsy needles.
Its exclusive features single it among all other biopsy devices in the same category.

Features include:

•  Stylet advance button remains locked during   penetration: simpler manoeuvre, increased safety during the biopsy procedure, enhanced sensitivity upon penetration.
•  Pre-selectable bioptic throw (5-10-20 mm), adaptable  lesion sampling size.
•  Stylet completely retractable from the cannula left in situ: control of the adequacy of the specimen, ideal for multiple biopsies (prostate mapping).
•  Stronger mechanism: reliable cutting of the most compact tissue.
•  50% more core cross sectional size with Top-Core

Specific product releases for CT-guided procedures (TC) and endo-urologic use (DC) available.

PRING-CUT SET TAC ( Temno Coaxial ) is also available as a set.

Our SPRING-CUT SET-TAC release has a unique coaxial system compared to competitive products. The cannula is detachable, whereas competitive products need an introducer needle with a larger diameter. The result with our system is a lower invasivity to the patient and less trauma.

SPRING-CUT MR ( MRI compatible ) is also available on request.

COLT^® is a single use, guillotine-type, soft tissue biopsy instrument which performs the entire bioptic manoeuvre quickly, fully automatically with precision.

•  Versatile, simple to use and reliable, with the unique rapid firing or two-stage firing feature, it represents the state of the art in automatic biopsy instruments.

•  COLT^® can be easily operated with one hand, making it ideal for procedures requiring ultrasound guidance. Sample biopsy core length 20mm.

•  Stylet completely retractable from the cannula left in situ: ideal for multiple biopsies (prostate mapping).

•  50% more core cross sectional size with Top-Core

Specific product releases for CT-guided procedures (TC) and for endo-urologic use (DC) available.

Colour coded for easier needle size ( gauge ) determination.
