BioPince® Ultra
BioPince® Ultra Full Core Biopsy Instrument is the industry-leading full core biopsy technology that captures superior diagnostic quality samples while reducing the risk of crush artifact and tissue fragmentation
- BioPince® Ultra Full Core Biopsy Instrument is designed to capture a full core specimen using a tri-axial core cut and capture system to harvest diagnostic quality specimens
- Reduces the risk of crush artifact and tissue fragmentation
- Variable throw lengths enhance clinical flexibility: 13mm throw yields 9mm specimen length, 23mm throw yields 19mm specimen length, 33mm throw yields 29mm specimen length
- Green ready indicator
- Forward trigger for flexibility in approach
- Centimeter markings provide a reference for depth placement
- Color-coded rear trigger for gauge identification
- BioPince® Ultra Full Core Biopsy Instrument can be used with optional echogenic coaxial introducer needles
- Better glomerular yield within the 16G BioPince instrument compared to a 14G Tru-Cut needle
