Acquire confidence in your diagnosis
The Beacon™ FNA Needle
- Helps pathologists improve diagnostic rate by providing optimal samples for cytology
- Features four cutting edges designed to optimize tissue yield
The SharkCore™ FNB Needle
- Engineered to acquire core tissue samples to improve diagnostic rate
- Unique needle tip geometry features six distal cutting edges designed to acquire cohesive units of tissue with intact cellular architecture
- Enables consistent and reliable tissue acquisition, helping you make more consistent and definitive diagnoses
- Minimizes stacking and fracturing of tissue as it is collected, potentially leading to better core samples
- Acquire cohesive units of tissue with intact architecture1
- Minimize tissue fracturing2
- Decrease penetration force3
- Rapid needle passes and device exchanges in one delivery system without losing scope position4
- Histology, using FNB and cytology, using FNA to occur in the same procedure at a low incremental cost
- Passively activated safety sheath minimizes risk of needle stick injury
