[New technique of liver biopsy (author's transl)]

A new one way set of instruments for liver biopsy (Histocan) dissects a neat cylinder of liver parenchyma harbouring it in a special reservoir. Manipulation of Histocan is very well controllable, independent of timing, and easy to perform, making it an ideal biopsy instrument for laparoscopy. since it is a one way set, sharpening and gliding qualities are invariably good, and better prophylaxis of infection is possible.
