Pulmonary and Biopsy Tools

The Arcpoint™ pulmonary needle is designed for use through a flexible endoscope or with the Medtronic superDimension™ system during an ENB procedure by physicians who are trained in endoscopic techniques for retrieving specimens from patients with endobronchial lesions, peripheral lung nodules, or lung masses.

Features and benefits include:

• Braided sheath - for trackability and maneuverability
• Tapered sheath - for ease of sampling
• Short rigid metal length - to maximize flexibility
• Optional stylet - provides additional rigidity when needed

The GenCut™ core biopsy system is utilized through a flexible endoscope or with the superDimension™ navigation system by physicians who are trained in endoscopic techniques for retrieving specimens from patients with endobronchial lesions, peripheral lung nodules, or lung masses. It is designed to acquire multiple tissue samples with a single core biopsy tool.

The superDimension aspirating needle features a positive stop retraction/extension design. This design provides protection during endoscope passage while allowing accurate and quick release when the needle is at the targeted site. This device has been sterilized using ethylene oxide.

superDimension™ aspirating needles are to be utilized during flexible bronchoscopy by a trained physician to obtain a cell aspirate in the bronchial tree.

Contraindications include but are not limited to:

• Patient whose general health and/or respiratory function are compromised to the point that the patient would not tolerate flexible bronchoscopy
• Uncooperative patient

The superDimension™ cytology brush is to be used by a trained physician and/or trained personnel through a flexible endoscope when brush cell samples are required for cytological analysis.

Features and benefits include:

• 3mm brush diameter - designed to help maximize sample size
• Metal tipped sheath - allows for fluoroscopic visualization during tissue collection

The superDimension™ triple needle cytology brush is to be utilized through a flexible endoscope, or with the superDimension™ system, by physicians who are trained in endoscopic techniques for retrieving specimens from patients with endobronchial lesions, peripheral lung nodules, or lung masses.

The superDimension™ biopsy forceps are intended for use in collecting tissue samples for histological examination.
