dc.description.abstract | The problem is that many biopsies are not performed in some settings because they may lead to life threatening bleeding complications. Although these complications are rare, they are not zero and are serious enough to prevent the clinician from performing the biopsy and obtaining biopsy tissue needed for accurate diagnosis and treatment of life threatening diseases. The invention involves a couple of points of novelty including a novel biopsy tip design and a novel mechanism of action to actuate the needle tip. | en |
