ACHIEVE MORE WITH EUS
Three interchangeable needles — the FNA, FNB, and FNF — allow for predictable biliary access, fine needle aspiration, fine needle biopsy, fiducial placement and improved procedural workflow in one procedure. 1-8
- The six distal cutting edges of the SharkCore™ FNB needle are specifically designed to obtain cohesive units of tissue with intact cell architecture.9-11
- The Beacon™ FNA needle, an interchangeable component of the Beacon™ EUS delivery system, is designed to improve tissue yield.1,12-13
- The Beacon™ FNF needle, pre-loaded with two solid gold markers, helps simplify the procedure, and reduces overall procedure time.14
Leading Solutions for Thermal Ablation
For more than 40 years, Medtronic has been the world leader in designing and manufacturing advanced energy-based medical systems and accessories, such as Cool-tip™ E-Series radiofrequency ablation systems and the new Emprint™ HP Ablation system with Thermosphere™ technology.
Emprint™ HP Ablation System with Thermosphere™ Technology
The Emprint™ HP Ablation system enables a minimally invasive procedure with few side effects15, fast recovery time16,17, high accuracy18, and predictable margins.19
