Urology

Precision That Drives Results

Prostate cancer diagnosis frequently hinges on the quality of tissue biopsy, making the choice of needle set vital for clinicians seeking accurate, efficient outcomes. The Quick-Core Auto Coaxial Biopsy Needle Set, offered through Minerva Health Solutions, introduces a new standard of programmable biopsy technology specifically for prostate biopsies. By integrating robust ergonomics, consistent performance, and patient safety, this device empowers medical professionals to deliver exceptional care and streamline their procedural workflow.


Who Should Use This Product?

This advanced biopsy needle set is designed for:

  • Urologists, interventional radiologists, and oncologists routinely performing or referring for prostate biopsies.

  • Clinicians and surgical teams seeking a device that supports efficiency, safety, and sample reliability.

  • Hospitals, specialty practices, and outpatient clinics prioritizing high-quality, consistent results in prostate cancer diagnostics.


Product Features at a Glance

  • Programmable Firing Modes:
    Easily adjustable between automatic, delay, and zero-throw for maximum control.

  • Spring-Loaded Ergonomic Handle:
    Enables one-handed operation and reduces hand fatigue while retaining stability at the puncture site.

  • Coaxial Introducer Compatibility:
    Allows multiple cores to be sampled through a single insertion, reducing trauma and time.

  • Optimal Sizes and Gauges:
    Available in a wide range—12G to 20G, lengths from 10cm to 25cm—to suit various patient anatomies and procedural preferences. The most common size for prostate biopsies is 18G, lengths 20cm and 25cm.

  • Reusable, Sterile Packaging:
    Each set is packaged sterile, for single use only, to ensure patient safety and regulatory compliance.

  • Ultrasound Optimized:
    Echogenic tip and etched cannula provide enhanced visibility for guided placement using ultrasound imaging technology.


The Evidence-Backed Advantages

Better Sample Quality

The Quick-Core Auto system consistently delivers high-integrity tissue samples with minimal fragmentation, providing greater confidence in pathological diagnosis and reducing the need for repeat sampling.

Workflow Efficiency

  • Programmable modes minimize manual adjustments, saving precious procedural time.

  • One-handed ergonomic control enables swift, smooth operation—ideal for ultrasound-guided biopsies or more challenging patient presentations.

Superior Patient Safety & Comfort

  • Reduced puncture sites lower the risk of infection, hematoma, and discomfort compared to non-coaxial designs.

  • Spring-driven action ensures steady force distribution, enhancing both patient and practitioner confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What makes the firing mechanism unique?

The Quick-Core Auto system’s trio of firing modes—automatic, delay, and zero-throw—lets clinicians select the best approach based on tissue density, target lesion, and patient safety, at the point of care.

How does the coaxial introducer help patients?

A coaxial introducer means a single puncture site can yield multiple core samples, lowering patient risk and minimizing tissue trauma.

Is the system compatible with ultrasound guidance?

Yes! The device’s echogenic tip and etched cannula enhance visualization for real-time image guidance, ensuring accurate placement.

Is the needle single use?

Absolutely. Each pack is sterile and single-use, promoting best practices in infection prevention and regulatory compliance.

For which biopsy types is this system best suited?

It is ideal for ultrasound-guided prostate biopsies, but supports a range of soft tissue sampling needs across urology, oncology, and radiology indications.
