so let's look at a video that sort of

0:03

helping us to understand the preparation for core needle biopsy.

0:07

What we have here is we're serving the process of

0:10

preparing a large gauge and cutting needle introducer.

0:15

Has a stylet that is an inner style. That's

0:18

sharp or blunt.

0:20

we remove the sharp stylet inner

0:23

Skylight and then we take the

0:25

biopsy needle Advanced that into the

0:28

introducer and then we check the deployment mechanism.

0:32

What the operator is pointing to?

0:34

Is the middle of the biopsy needle

0:38

and within the middle of the biopsy needle on this specific device, it

0:41

allows you to identify how long the

0:44

throw of the biopsy needle

0:47

is. So how long how much

0:50

of the tray is exposed which will determine how

0:53

much of your specimen you're getting in this

0:56

particular setting this particular device has a 20 millimeter

0:59

throw or a 10 millimeter throw.

1:02

Course, we want to get more tissue. We could

1:05

move on the 20 millimeter throw. However, there

1:08

may be risks to a 20

1:11

millimeter throw because of structures that are deep to our

1:14

needle in which case a 10 millimeter throw might be

1:17

appropriate.
