Customised biopsy guide for ultra-sound transducers

NOVELTY – The biopsy guide device has an inlet configured to allow insertion of a needle on a tab. A cavity is configured to allow passage of the needle and guide the needle in the guide device. A nozzle entry is configured to allow precise and rapid introduction of the needle in the cavity of the guide device during the medical procedure. USE – Biopsy guide device for ultrasonic transducers used in medical field, particularly for viewing and locating biopsy zones, and for performing cancer biopsy, such as prostate cancer biopsy (all claimed). ADVANTAGE – The biopsy guide device has an inlet configured to allow insertion of a needle on a tab, where a cavity is configured to allow passage of the needle and guide the needle in the guide device, and hence ensures performing a biopsy more quickly, re-used, owing to the use of a material that can be sterilized, and ensures better ultra-sound coupling by the guide. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) – The drawing shows a schematic perspective view of a biopsy guide device.
