Bard Max‑Core Biopsy Instrument MC1816
The Bard Max‑Core Biopsy Instrument MC1816 is a disposable core‑biopsy device with an 18‑gauge needle and 16 cm needle length. It is used to collect tissue samples from soft tissue or organs during biopsy procedures. The instrument is designed for one‑handed use for ergonomic control and ease of handling.
The MC1816 provides a sterile, single‑use solution for obtaining core tissue samples from soft tissues or organs such as breast, liver, kidney, spleen, lymph nodes or tumors. Its sharp‑beveled trocar tip and polished needle allow smooth penetration with minimal tissue trauma, yielding high-quality, intact core specimens. The ergonomic handle with one‑handed cocking and dual firing buttons enhances control and ease of use — even with gloved hands or under imaging guidance. As a disposable instrument, it reduces cross‑contamination risk and supports efficient sterile workflow in clinical settings.
