Designed to obtain tissue samples with intact tissue architecture to support definitive diagnosis.
The six distal cutting edges of the SharkCore™️ EUS Fine Needle Biopsy (FNB) System needle are specifically designed to obtain cohesive units of tissue with intact cell architecture. By minimizing tissue stacking and fracturing, the needle can potentially provide better core samples and help gastroenterologists and pathologists make more consistent and definitive diagnoses.1,2
