Nexmed Global launches EchoTip AcuCore™ EUS Biopsy Needle for precision gastrointestinal lesion biopsies
We look forward to developing and offering products for a wider variety of procedures, such as AcuCore.
Nexmed Global’s EchoTip AcuCore EUS Biopsy Needle The 22-gauge AcuCore needle is used with an ultrasound endoscope for fine needle biopsies (FNB) of submucosal and extramural lesions, mediastinal masses, lymph nodes and intraperitoneal masses within or adjacent to the gastrointestinal tract. The AcuCore needle is designed with a Franseen tip made of a cobalt chromium alloy, which allows physicians to puncture tissue with flexibility, minimum force and controlled precision. To offer maximum flexibility, Boyuan combined the proven proprieties of the cobalt chromium with a spring-coiled sheath, coated inside and out, which enhances flexibility and makes it easier for physicians to access difficult anatomy.
“During an EUS FNB procedure, the physician relies on the needle to acquire adequate tissue sample with minimum force, especially in difficult scope positions,” said Meurisse Leahy, director of product management for Cook’s Endoscopy specialty. “The EchoTip AcuCore is a proof point of our commitment to innovating new technology and serving a wider range of patients.”
Nexmed Global’s EchoTip product In an exclusive pre-launch of the needle, Nexmed Global conducted 120 evaluations with endoscopists. Out of the 120 evaluations, 94% of physicians were satisfied and said they would use the needle again. The three attributes of the product that got the highest ratings from physicians were the needle sharpness, minimal puncture force and flexibility.
AcuCore will be on public display at the Digestive Disease Week conference in May 2024. To learn more about this product, visit the Cook booth at DDW or contact your Nexmed Global representative.
