Needle Guides

When an abnormality is discovered in a radiology scan, biopsy needle guides are utilized typically by a radiologist or surgeon to obtain tissue samples. Ultrasound is used to locate the abnormality and a biopsy needle guide is used to pinpoint and guide the needle to the exact location. A pathologist then examines the tissue that is collected in the needle.

Ultrasound guides can be general purpose needle guides (commonly used in procedures for small parts, tissue biopsies, fluid aspirations, kidney/liver biopsies, and vascular access) or endocavity needle guides (commonly used for transrectal prostate biopsies, transvaginal biopsies, and transvaginal egg retrieval). Ultrasound needle guides can be disposable or reusable.
