Fine-needle biopsy
Maximize Yield and Maintain Core Tissue Sample Quality
Rely on the benefits of the proven Franseen Needle to help maximize your patients’ diagnostic yield and maintain core tissue sample quality.1
In a meta-analysis of studies, FNB performed significantly better than fine-needle aspiration (FNA):2
The meta-analysis reveals that EUS-FNB + ROSE doesn't surpass EUS-FNB with newer end-cutting needles. However, ROSE may still play a role with reverse bevel needles.2
AcquireTM and AcqurieTM S are EUS-FNB Franseen-tip needles, which allow to acquire larger, adequate histologic core tissue, ensuring an accurate diagnosis using the fanning technique.3
The Franseen needle has been used for over 50 years in interventional radiology4 and since 2016 in diagnostic EUS since 2016, hence boasting a proven track record for accuracy.1 This is increasingly vital in oncology research and genomic sequencing for developing targeted cancer therapies.5
The Franseen needle's architecture, featuring three symmetrical needle points with fully formed cutting heels that are electropolished for sharpness, stands out.6 For larger histological specimens and preserved tissue architecture.7
This improvement in outcomes can reduce the risk of repeat procedures, enabling you to better manage patients’ wellbeing during challenging times while increasing resource efficiency at your hospital.
