Bard Max‑Core Biopsy Instrument MC1820
The Bard Max‑Core Biopsy Instrument MC1820 is a disposable core‑biopsy device with an 18‑gauge needle and 20 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 MC1820 provides a sterile, single‑use solution for obtaining core tissue samples from soft tissues and organs such as liver, kidney, lung, lymph nodes, or suspected tumors. Its sharp‑beveled trocar tip and compatible design 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.
