Boston Scientific M00552350 - Needle Aspiration Acquire Endoscopic Us 22ga Pulmonary Bronchial F/FNB Olympus Scope Cobalt Chromium, 1/EACH
Boston Scientific M00552350 22GA Acquire Pulmonary FNB Device - Olympus scope compatible
The Acquire Pulmonary EBUS-FNB Device is designed to be used with EBUS scopes for fine needle biopsy (FNB) 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.
Acquire Pulmonary and the Franseen tip
- 3 symmetrical, fully formed, cutting heels
- Electropolished to increase sharpness and improve heel quality
- 3 angled points designed to promote stability in tissue and reduce the likelihood of passability issues.
Designed with procedural efficiency and cost concerns in mind
Based on data from the use of the Acquire FNB device in gastrointestinal procedures:
May reduce procedure time.
Gastrointestinal procedures were shorter in patients who underwent FNB compared to FNA (39 minutes vs 44.6 minutes, P value of 0.006).
Franseen tip design may help avoid missed diagnosis and repeat procedures.
Total tissue yield from FNB needles potentially 20x greater and tumor potentially 7x greater vs FNA needles from the same lesion.
May reduce the need to switch needles during the procedure.
Cobalt-chromium provides greater resistance to needle blunting during deployment than stainless steel.
