Hologic\u2019s Brevera Breast Biopsy System 7-gauge needle is now available in Europe. This addition expands the suite of Brevera disposable biopsy needles and provides radiologists with more options for their biopsy procedures.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Brevera system was the world\u2019s first\u00a0vacuum-assisted breast biopsy solution to integrate tissue acquisition, real-time imaging and verification and post-biopsy handling.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Brevera 7-gauge needle enables radiologists to capture larger samples, potentially reducing patient discomfort and time under compression,\u201d explained Dr Nisha Sharma, consultant breast radiologist and director of the breast screening programme Leeds\/Wakefield, Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, UK. \u201cWhen Hologic approached me about developing this new needle, I knew it would be something that would benefit my institution and patients. By providing radiologists with needle options, they can have more flexibility when performing biopsies by selecting the needle that works best for the procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n

7-gauge needle enables new functionality<\/strong><\/p>\n

The new disposable 7-gauge needle can be used on the system\u2019s existing reusable device driver, enabling the Brevera system to support new functionality, simplify storage, and reduce waste.\u00a0\u00a0Like the existing 9-gauge needles, the new addition is simple to use, with saline lavage, integrated anaesthetic administration, remote firing, thumbwheel and end-deploy marking.<\/p>\n

“Hologic\u2019s Science of Sure promise means that we deliver innovative technologies that help our customers feel confident in their decisions with accurate point-of-care data,\u201d said Tanja Brycker, Vice President of Strategic Development for Breast & Skeletal Health and Gynaecological Surgical Solutions at Hologic. \u201cFeedback from our customers is central to how we develop our solutions. The request was clear \u2013 a larger needle for the Brevera system would help meet the needs of more patients. We are pleased to be able to meet that need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Brevera system enables fast, accurate, and streamlined procedures, meaning less compression time, which can result in a more positive and compassionate biopsy experience. \u00a0The system\u2019s intuitive user interface, real-time imaging and automated specimen collection and separation can save facilities an average of 13 minutes per procedure.<\/p>\n

The Brevera system is designed for use with Hologic\u2019s Affirm Prone biopsy system and Affirm breast biopsy guidance system, as well as most upright and prone systems available on the market.<\/p>\n
