Bard Monopty Disposable Core Biopsy Instrument 121816
The Bard Monopty Disposable Core Biopsy Instrument 121816 is a sterile, single‑use core biopsy device with an 18‑gauge needle and 16 cm needle length. It is used to obtain tissue samples from soft tissues or organs during biopsy procedures. The instrument is designed for ergonomic one‑handed use for easy handling and control.
The 121816 model delivers a ready‑to‑use, sterile core biopsy solution suitable for sampling soft tissues — such as liver, kidney, breast, prostate, lymph nodes or soft‑tissue masses under imaging guidance. Its sharp‑beveled trocar tip and deep sample notch facilitate smooth penetration and retrieval of intact core tissue specimens with minimal crush artifact, supporting high‑quality diagnostic samples. The lightweight, color‑coded ergonomic handle and spring‑loaded firing mechanism provide precise, comfortable operation even with gloved hands. Being disposable and sterile, the instrument reduces cross‑contamination risk and supports efficient workflow in hospital or diagnostic settings.
