SNARECORE Biopsy Needle

The Snarecore biopsy instrument offers a FULL core specimen. Snarecore offers a less traumatic way of obtaining large, intact specimens, in a simple easy to use disposable device. This biopsy instrument utilizes a patented Snarecoil mechanism, which winds down at the distal tip of the needle to capture the sample. This technology delivers specimens unimpaired by crush artifact and tissue fragmentation, a common side effect with traditional biopsy instruments.

Features and Benefits:

14 and 18 Gauge full core specimens with higher tissue volume then ordinary biopsy devices.

Patented internal Snarecoil allowing for confident capture of greater cross-sections samples.

Ultrasound tip enhancements and the shaft is marked every centimeter.

Easy to use and comfortable to handle.

Available with compatible introducer needles.
