Description

TEMNO Biopsy Systems offer a comprehensive range of single-use, sterile devices designed for precise core biopsy sampling of soft tissues. These systems are tailored for use by trained physicians under imaging guidance, such as ultrasound or CT, making them suitable for biopsies of the breast, kidney, liver, lung, thyroid, prostate, spleen, lymph nodes, and various soft tissue masses.

Key Features

• Versatile Design: Available as stand-alone biopsy needles or with coaxial introducer needles, either standard or valved, to cater to diverse clinical needs.
• Adjustable Penetration Depth: Offers flexibility with 10 mm or 20 mm settings, along with sample notch sizes ranging from 9 to 20 mm, depending on the model.
• Enhanced Precision: Features such as sharp, bevel-tipped needles and echogenic markings on the cannula and stylet ensure minimized tissue trauma and improved ultrasound visibility.
• Ergonomic Operation: Designed for ease of use with tactile-enhanced plungers and ergonomic grips, allowing for one-handed operation and better control.

Safety Considerations

TEMNO Biopsy Systems are not intended for bone biopsies and should not be used in patients with bleeding disorders or those on anticoagulant therapy. Potential complications align with typical core biopsy procedures, including hematoma, hemorrhage, and infection. Devices are not tested for MRI compatibility and should be inspected for damage before use, with proper disposal as biohazard waste after use.
