  • Medical Instrumentation

Background:

  • Bone tumors require accurate diagnosis and treatment monitoring through biopsies.
  • Both open and closed (drill) biopsy techniques have distinct advantages and disadvantages.
  • Existing drill biopsy instruments may present handling challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a new instrument designed for performing drill biopsies of bone tumors.
  • To present an instrument that is easy to handle for clinicians.

Main Methods:

  • Description of a novel instrument for closed bone biopsy.
  • Focus on the ease of handling and practical application of the new instrument.

Main Results:
