Improving the efficiency of a biopsy procedure is important for both you and your patients. Here’s how Mammotome Vacuum-Assisted Biopsy (VAB) devices achieve efficiency versus a core needle device.
- Larger samples enable obtaining the same amount of tissue volume with fewer specimens.
- Single insertion VAB devices remove the need to arm the device, spring-fire the needle, remove the needle, handle tissue, reinsert the needle, relocate the lesion, etc.
- No manual arming or pumping is required.
- The Mammotome® Elite and Mammotome Revolve™ systems have a short cycle time of less than nine seconds per sample retrieval.
- Touchless tissue transfer allows for transfer of all tissue samples to formalin at the same time.
- Fluid management helps control fluids in the lesion cavity.
- The Mammotome® Elite system can manage up to 5mL of fluid
- The Mammotome Revolve™ system has SteadyVac on-demand vacuum and a large vacuum canister
