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
