Needle Biopsy

A puncture-biopsy needle is the general name for needles designed to puncture tissue in order to capture a piece of it, take a sample of the contents of the cavity, or introduce medications into it. Puncture biopsy needles are used to obtain material for cytological, histological and other types of studies. They allow performing a targeted biopsy under ultrasound or X-ray control.

Puncture biopsy needles differ from each other in diameter, length, and the presence of a cannula for collecting material. The choice of a specific needle depends on the location, size and nature of the formation from which the sample is taken. Correct needle selection is important to obtain a sufficient amount of diagnostic material and reduce the risk of complications.

In modern medicine, biopsy infusion is an important component when carrying out various diagnostic measures aimed at studying the morphological structure of the patient’s organs and tissues. A biopsy allows you to confirm the presence of certain pathologies, while significantly reducing the risk of error characteristic of the clinical picture.

Previously, the biotic procedure was carried out through direct contact between a medical specialist and the mucous membrane of the organ, which significantly increased the risks of transmitting infections and also caused discomfort for the patient. However, fortunately, in recent years, breakthroughs have occurred in the development of equipment for the biopsy procedure. One of the most famous developments is needle biopsy.

To use a biopsy needle, the following parameters are required: - sufficient space for needle insertion (from mild discomfort to sufficient pain); - experience of the procedure and its understanding by the patient; - attentiveness of doctors who do not delay access to the organ; - sterility of the space and the doctor’s hands.
