Full free-hand transperineal prostate biopsy: empowering precision in urology

Not all prostate biopsy techniques are alike

Full free-hand, ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsy (TPPB) with a coaxial needle may offer you:

Increased precision in detecting tumours in the prostate's anterior zone compared with transrectal prostate biopsy (TRPB)¹
Better control of the sampling needle when compared with grid-based TPPB²
Reduced procedural time compared with noncoaxial needle TPPB³ or grid-based TPPB²
Higher cost-effectiveness than other TPPB techniques^4,5
Reduced pain in your patients compared with noncoaxial needle TPPB³

Cost comparison between TRPBs and TPPBs from 2008 and 2019 on data from the U.K. National Health Service (NHS)⁶:

£2,225 was the average estimated cost of nonelective readmission following TRPB
£1,758 was the average estimated cost of nonelective readmission following full free-hand TPPB under local anaesthetic

Full free-hand TPPB solution in a single sterile kit
Designed for use with local anaesthetic⁷
Semi-automatic mode for increased precision
Advanced ultrasound technology enhances the visibility of both the instrument and the coaxial cannula
