Blunt tip:

  • Coaxial blunt tip stylet helps reduce the risk of damage to vasculature or other organs

Coaxial biopsy needle:

  • Provides the ability to cut through tissue
  • Centimeter markings on needle for easy depth evaluation
  • Echogenic marking on cannula allow for precise ultrasound placement
