Bard Max‑Core Biopsy Instrument MC1616
The Bard Max‑Core Biopsy Instrument MC1616 is a disposable core‑biopsy device with a 16‑gauge needle and 16 cm needle length. It is used to collect tissue samples from soft tissues or organs during biopsy procedures. The instrument is designed for one‑handed use to provide ergonomic control and ease of handling.
The MC1616 delivers a sterile, single‑use solution for core tissue sampling from soft tissues or organs such as liver, kidney, lung, breast, lymph nodes or suspected tumors. Its sharp‑beveled trocar tip and polished needle surface permit smooth penetration with minimal tissue trauma, helping to retrieve 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.
