Magnum Biopty Needle 14G × 10cm (Core Biopsy Needle) – C. R. Bard

The Magnum Biopty Needle 14G × 10cm by C. R. Bard is a specialized core biopsy needle designed for collecting tissue specimens during diagnostic biopsy procedures. It belongs to the Bard MAGNUM biopsy system, which combines disposable biopsy needles with a compatible reusable biopsy instrument for automated tissue sampling.

The needle is designed to obtain core tissue samples from selected organs, soft tissues, and suspicious masses for histopathological examination. Core biopsy specimens preserve tissue architecture, allowing pathologists to evaluate cellular structures, tissue abnormalities, and other features that may assist in establishing a diagnosis.

The 14-gauge (14G) needle provides a specific needle diameter suitable for selected core biopsy procedures, while the 10cm needle length allows access to appropriately located tissue targets.

The Bard MAGNUM biopsy system uses an automated spring-loaded biopsy instrument to activate the cutting needle mechanism. This allows healthcare professionals to collect tissue specimens using a controlled biopsy technique.

Unlike a fully integrated disposable biopsy device, the MAGNUM biopsy needle is designed to work with a compatible reusable MAGNUM biopsy instrument.

The 14G × 10cm configuration may be used in selected biopsy procedures involving breast tissue, soft tissue masses, and other appropriate anatomical targets, depending on the clinical indication and manufacturer's instructions.

Biopsy procedures may be performed using ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), or other suitable imaging guidance when required.

The Magnum Biopty Needle 14G × 10cm is intended for use by qualified healthcare professionals trained in percutaneous core biopsy procedures, including interventional radiologists, surgeons, and other appropriately trained specialists.

Applications and Uses

Breast Tissue Biopsy

The Magnum Biopty Needle 14G × 10cm may be used in selected breast biopsy procedures where a core tissue sample is required for histopathological examination.

The 14G needle configuration is commonly associated with core needle biopsy techniques, although the final needle selection depends on lesion characteristics, imaging findings, and clinical assessment.

Soft Tissue Mass Biopsy

The needle may be used to collect tissue specimens from selected soft tissue masses when core biopsy is clinically appropriate.

Lymph Node Biopsy

Core biopsy needles may be used to sample selected lymph nodes for diagnostic evaluation.

Liver Biopsy

The device may be considered for appropriate liver tissue sampling procedures when the needle gauge, length, and biopsy technique meet clinical requirements.

Kidney Biopsy

Core biopsy needles may be used in selected renal biopsy procedures. The choice of needle gauge should account for the required specimen and potential bleeding risks.

Tumour Investigation

Core tissue samples may assist healthcare professionals in investigating suspicious masses and abnormal tissue changes.

Histopathological Examination

Collected tissue specimens may be processed and examined in a pathology laboratory to support diagnostic assessment.

Imaging-Guided Tissue Sampling

The needle may be used during ultrasound-guided or CT-guided biopsy procedures where appropriate.
