What Is a Biopsy Needle?
As the name implies, a biopsy needle is a special kind of needle that is used for biopsy procedures. A biopsy is when a tissue sample or cell sample is taken from the body to be tested and analyzed in a laboratory.
Biopsy needles have a unique design that separates them from other kinds of needles and makes them suitable for needle biopsy procedures. These needles are very thin and hollow, connected to syringes which are used to store the cells or tissue samples collected during the procedure.
Biopsy needles are commonly used when anomalies or suspicious lumps are detected in a patient and need to be tested to learn more. They're commonly used to identify cancer, but can also be used for finding out about possible infections or even for matching organ tissues before organ transplants.

How Does a Biopsy Needle Work?
Biopsy needles are used in needle biopsy procedures. These procedures are usually carried out in hospitals or doctor's offices. The area being tested will first need to be cleaned and may also be numbed with anesthetic prior to the insertion of the needle. The needle will then be inserted and CT scans or ultrasound may be used to guide it into position. The syringe attached to the needle will allow for a sample to be taken, before the needle is then removed and the insertion site bandaged. The sample is then sent to a lab for testing.
Biopsy Needle Sizes
Like other needles, biopsy needles can be found in a broad range of sizes. Some of them need to be very long, as they have to penetrate quite deep into the body, while others are shorter for more surface-level biopsy procedures.
Biopsy Needle Types
When it comes to biopsy needles, most of them are very similar in terms of design and function. They're all used for biopsies and they all consist of a long, narrow, hollow needle which may come on its own or attached to a syringe for sample collection. They can vary in terms of size, coloring, shape of the plunger, and other features.
Biopsy Needle Uses
As stated above, the main use of biopsy needles is for biopsy procedures. These procedures are done whenever a doctor feels that a tissue sample needs to be taken from a patient for further testing. Usually, needle biopsies are carried out to check for cancer in lumps or abnormal areas, but they can also be used to find infections, diagnose different diseases, determine the cause of suspicious bleeding, or even to find out causes of infertility in a patient.
