Product Description
Carefusion ACT1811 - NEEDLE TEMNO BIOPSY 18GA X 11CM 5/CS
Adjustable Coaxial Temno (ACT) Biopsy Device
The Adjustable Coaxial Temno (ACT) biopsy device from BD combines the quality and reliability of the Temno product line with innovative, patented technology.
The compact, lightweight design passes through the computed tomography (CT) gantry with ease. One-handed operation allows convenient manipulation of an ultrasound transducer, echogenic markings on cannula help ensure accurate ultrasound positioning and centimetre depth markings assist in needle placement.
The ACT device lets you manipulate the sample notch from 9 to 19 mm for precise control with small lesions and peace of mind in vascular areas.
The coaxial introducer needle allows multiple sampling from one percutaneous puncture with minimal damage to surrounding tissue.
