Medtronic offers the GenCut core biopsy system, a lung tissue biopsy tool for use with the SuperDimension navigation system, which enables a minimally invasive approach to accessing difficult-to-reach areas of the lung.
The GenCut core biopsy system allows pulmonologists and thoracic surgeons to collect multiple core samples from lesions deep inside the lungs. With its proprietary blade design, GenCut can shear and collect larger, more intact samples and allows physicians to provide the pathology laboratory with tissue that enables cytology, histology, and molecular profiling. With the ability to continuously sample, in one pass, physicians can potentially decrease patients’ biopsy procedure times.
The GenCut core biopsy system received 510(k) clearance in April 2015.
