SPEEDYBELL™

Semi-automatic guillotine needle for soft tissue biopsy

Needle used in biopsies of the breast, liver, kindney, prostate, pancreas and lungs thanks to its ability to obtain high-quality histological samples with controlled precision.

The echogenic marker on the end of the cannula allows constant monitoring of the needle position during the biopsy.
The centimetre depth markings on the cannula enable precise control of the depth reached.
The ring handle ensures a secure grip and easy handling during the biopsy procedure.
The precise cutting action ensures high-quality histological samples.
The manual control allows the operator to make adjustments during the procedure.
The design minimizes trauma and bleeding risk, especially in vascular organs.
The needle is compatible with imaging guidance (US, CT, EUS) for accurate targeting.
The SPEEDYBELL™ needle can be equipped with a coaxial introducer needle (INTRODUTTORE™), recommended for biopsies requiring multiple samples (e.g., mammary biopsies).

SPEEDYBELL™ features a spring-loaded cutting mechanism that provides a clean, sharp tissue cut while allowing for manual control over sample retrieval.

Breast Biopsy: used for diagnosing suspicious lesions detected via mammography or ultrasound.
Liver Biopsy: used to assess liver disease, tumours, or fibrosis progression.
Kidney Biopsy: helps diagnose nephropathies and transplant rejection.
Prostate Biopsy: Typically performed under TRUS (transrectal ultrasound) guidance to diagnose prostate cancer.
Pancreas Biopsy: Often performed under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance for diagnosing pancreatic tumors or cysts.
Lung Biopsy: used to diagnose lung nodules, cancer, and infections.
CT-guided procedures benefit from the semi-automatic cutting action, allowing rapid tissue acquisition while minimizing lung trauma.

Surgical Technique:

Insert two fingers into the rings and, with the other hand, pull the rear knob until the needle is fully loaded.
Insert the needle into the selected biopsy site, maintaining a consistent position and orientation.
Firmly push the rear knob to capture the sample.
Gently withdraw the needle from the patient.
To retrieve the sample and transfer it onto a microscope slide, reload the needle by pulling the rear knob and gently pushing it forward for three-quarters of the stroke.
