- Designed to provide:
- Tissue specimens for excellent sample handling and preparation
- Clean, precise bite for accurate histological diagnosis
- Designed to provide:
- Enhanced passability through tortuous anatomy
- The right balance of columnar strength and flexibility for excellent pushability and control during scope passage
- Eliminates the risk of transmitting patient-to-patient disease
-
For molecular analysis and diagnosis of sarcoidosis and lymphoma
-
CoreDx Mini-Forceps are designed with flexibility to allow access to all regions within the transbronchial tree
-
High column strength* allows for ease of entry through access hole when used in conjunction with EBUS-TBNA
-
CoreDx Mini-Forceps are compatible with all currently available EBUS scopes (Olympus, Pentax, and Fuji)
-
Compatible with super slim bronchoscope (1.2mm working channel)
-
Needle histology can be bloody and dilute, but CoreDx maintains the tissue structure necessary for accurate diagnosis.2

*BSC data on file
The Acquire Pulmonary EBUS-FNB Device is designed to be used with EBUS scopes for fine needle biopsy of submucosal and extramural lesions of the tracheobronchial tree and the gastrointestinal tract. FNB of lung lesions may be performed during EBUS procedures when the tip design of a traditional Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) needle is not optimal. Examples include, but are not limited to, lung cancer staging and diagnosis, and suspected lymphoma or sarcoidosis.
- Franseen tip is designed to capture bigger tissue specimens
- Three points provide stability at puncture
- Three symmetrical cutting surfaces with fully formed heels maximize tissue capture and minimize fragmentation
- Histopathological Core Samples
- For 20x more tissue than same gauge FNA needle1
The eXcelon Transbronchial Aspiration Needle is intended for use in aspiration in carinal, paratracheal, and hilar lesions of the bronchial tree where biopsy forceps cannot obtain a submucosal sample.
- Procedural Safety Features
- Button Lock system is designed to reduce risk of accidental needle deployment during catheter advancement, potentially avoiding costly scope damage
- Fused distal coil and needle configuration is designed to help prevent needle detachment
- Clear catheter designed for visualization if blood is drawn during aspiration
- High Performance Design
- “X-Catheter” is engineered to promote responsiveness and kink resistance for smooth needle penetration
- Distal coil is designed to promote tip flexibility while maintaining rigidity at the proximal end
- Needle internal volume is designed to provide increased space for specimen collection
- Procedural Convenience Features
- Syringe locking feature is designed to reduce aspirating effort during the procedure and facilitate “single-handed” actuation
- Ergonomic handle design
- No need to disconnect syringe to break vacuum
Reliability
- Sharp needle tip grind is designed for precise penetration into the target area. Testing shows no deterioration in sample quality throughout a procedure.1
Durability
- Cobalt chromium needle provides benefits over some stainless steel alloys including greater needle hardness and excellent tensile properties2
Highly Visible Echogenic Pattern
- Extends onto needle tip to help provide precise guidance within the target site
- Helps to maintain needle tip visibility at all times during a procedure
Accommodate Varying Airway Anatomy without Kinking
- Knitted Nitinol Design
- Stent geometry is designed to adapt to anatomical contours and exert constant, radial pressure to maintain patency
Clear Secretions
- Flexible Open Loop Design
- Epithelization of uncovered stent may promote mucociliary clearance
Resist Migration
- Uncovered Ends
- Epithelization of ends may limit migration
