BioScoop
Our BioScoop™ Biopsy System with integrated BxSeal™ technology for hemostasis, represents a new approach to percutaneous needle biopsy. The System will enable physicians to achieve safer and definitive tissue capture using advanced needle-tissue characterisation and automated control.
Key Features of Invention:
1. Increasing Procedural Functionality:
- BioScoop™ technology invented for reduced physician effort and skill
- Automatic tissue capture mechanism for ease of use
2. Enhancing Procedural Safety:
- Exclusive BxSeal™ system, minimizing hemorrhaging for Patient Safety
- Automated, contamination-free sample handling for Procedural Safety
3. Improving Accuracy of Diagnosis:
- Pre-calibrated mechanism for counteracting variation in tissue types
- Clean distal-end cutting action prevents sample fragmentation
- Automated tissue capture ensures consistent samples
4. Enabling Cost-effective Diagnosis:
- Affordable results for both patients and healthcare providers
