Single-insertion, Multi-sample Biopsy with Flash

Filed under: Surgery

Here's what a rep for Rubicor Medical, Inc., a Redwood City, California firm, told us about company's new innovative device called Flash, a single-insertion, multi-sample breast biopsy gadget that collects cored samples from different locations in a special chamber:

Flash is the only breast biopsy device of its kind, which allows the physician to easily take and view multiple samples with a single insertion and one-touch operation. Guided by ultrasound, Flash utilizes real-time visualization and automated sampling to obtain solid, contiguous biopsy cores. Other biopsy devices and techniques require several individual insertions into the patient's breast to retrieve adequate samples for pathology analysis.
