Pulmonary and Biopsy Tools

The Arcpoint™ pulmonary needle is specifically designed for use with the Medtronic superDimension™ system during an ENB procedure.

Features and benefits include:

• Braided sheath - for trackability and maneuverability
• Tapered sheath - for ease of sampling
• Short rigid metal length - to maximize flexibility
• Optional stylet - provides additional rigidity when needed

The GenCut™ core biopsy system is utilized through a flexible endoscope or with the superDimension™ navigation system by physicians who are trained in endoscopic techniques for retrieving specimens from patients with endobronchial lesions, peripheral lung nodules, or lung masses.

Features and benefits include:

• Proprietary blade design - able to shear and collect tissue samples that are large and intact, helping physicians to provide pathology with samples that enables cytology, histology and molecular profiling for personalized medicine([FOOTNOTE=Data on file, not a powered study. Animal data is not necessarily indicative of human clinical outcomes.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=])
• Designed to acquire multiple tissue samples with a single pass - allows continual sampling that decreases procedure time vs. multiple-pass biopsy tools
• Capable of flexibility that mimics the sensor catheter([FOOTNOTE=Data on file.],[ANCHOR=],[LINK=]) - gives physicians consistency from navigation to biopsy, accessing lesions throughout the lung

superDimension™ aspirating needles are to be utilized during flexible bronchoscopy by a trained physician to obtain a cell aspirate in the bronchial tree.

Features and benefits include:

• Short needle length - samples endobronchial tissue in distal airways
• Clear catheter - allows for direct visualization during sampling

The superDimension™ cytology brush is to be used by a trained physician and/or trained personnel through a flexible endoscope when brush cell samples are required for cytological analysis.

Features and benefits include:

• 3mm brush diameter - designed to maximize sample size
• Metal tipped sheath - allows for fluoroscopic visualization during tissue collection

Features and benefits include:

• Sharpened tip - enables tissue to be punctured or penetrated in order to obtain a biopsy sample
• 3 mm forward-facing bristles - designed to maximize sample size
• Silver soldered fused doublewire construction - maintains tip integrity

The superDimension™ triple needle cytology brush is to be utilized through a flexible endoscope, or the superDimension™ system, by physicians who are trained in endoscopic techniques for retrieving specimens from patients with endobronchial lesions, peripheral lung nodules, or lung masses.

Features and benefits include:

• Unique three brush design - designed to sample more broadly than a single cytology brush
• Three-brush design enables multiple modes of cell collection
  • cells collected on three brushes versus one
  • capable of trapping larger tissue samples between the brushes²
