BioPince Biopsy Gun 18 g, 10–20 cm in length –This biopsy gun delivers larger cylindrical core samples and is a single-action device. The throw length is adjustable, the stylet tip has a trocar style, and the needle tip functions as a pair of pincers. 3-cm) stroke length, thereby allowing larger samples to be obtained than with comparable 18-g core biopsy needles. The needle tip, however, is not as easily controlled as in the devices that offer a controlled advance of the inner stylet. Core biopsy is performed by inserting a hollow needle through the skin and into the organ or mass to be investigated.
