Abstract

Introduction: Certain lesions are challenging to reach and target, e.g. axillary lymph nodes. A novel biopsy platform, NeoNavia (NeoDynamics, Sweden), incorporates a pneumatic needle insertion mechanism intended to provide better control of needle progression. It offers a 14G automated core needle (CorePulse), 10G vacuum biopsy needle (VacuPulse) and newly developed adaptive 14G open-tip sampling needle (FlexiPulse). Sampling yield of the 14G open-tip needle was benchmarked against a currently used device in a turkey tissue model and needle velocity was measured.
