Carefusion FRA2020 - Franseen Tip Biopsy Needle, 20G x 20 cm, Sterile Single-Use, 10 EA/CS

The Carefusion FRA2020 Franseen Biopsy Needle is a precision-engineered, single-use needle designed for soft tissue biopsy procedures. Measuring 20 gauge x 20 cm, this sterile biopsy needle features a Franseen tipa three-pronged, symmetrical cutting edge optimized for obtaining high-quality core tissue samples. Its design enables superior sample acquisition with minimal tissue trauma, making it ideal for liver, kidney, thyroid, or lymph node biopsies under imaging guidance.

This biopsy needle is commonly used in interventional radiology and diagnostic procedures where reliable core samples are essential for accurate pathology evaluation.

Key Benefits

• Franseen tip design: Enhances tissue capture efficiency with a sharp, symmetrical cutting edge for cleaner, intact core biopsies.

• 20G diameter and 20 cm length: Optimized for percutaneous access under ultrasound or CT guidance with reduced patient discomfort.

• Sterile and single-use: Eliminates cross-contamination risks and supports infection control in biopsy suites.

• Smooth shaft and ergonomic hub: Allows precise control and insertion depth during procedures.

• Compatible with coaxial biopsy systems: Integrates well into existing diagnostic workflows for efficient sampling.
