The Forsvall Biopsy System
- Built to travel straight in tissue, reducing needle deviation to significantly improve precision.
- The patented needle design also reduces bacterial transfer by 96%*.
Developed in hospital by urologists - for urologists. The Forsvall Biopsy Gun is solid and well balanced. This gives the operator a comfortable and luxurious tactile feel during the biopsy procedure.
Based on years of R&D – it is both no different in workflow from currently available biopsy systems - yet revolutionary in practice. Our aim is to improve biopsy diagnostics and to supply the best prostate Biopsy System available.
- One purpose: Prostate biopsies
- One gauge size: 18G
- One needle length: 25 cm
- One reusable biopsy gun
The rationale behind the Forsvall Needle
Reduced bacterial transfer by 96%*
About 3% of patients in transrectal and 1% of transperineal biopsies suffer an infection. Infections are caused by bacterial transfer. The Forsvall needle reduces bacterial transfer by 96%*. Clinical trials are planned to evaluate the effect on clinical infections.
On target technology by addressing deviation
A clinical problem is needle deviation away from the tumour, impairing the urologist's hit rate and downstream cancer diagnostics. The Forsvall needle is built to reduce deviation. Clinical trials are planned to evaluate the effect on cancer diagnostics.
