Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy System by Ethicon — SCM23

The Ethicon SCM23 is a specialized system designed for performing vacuum-assisted breast biopsies. This equipment serves as a core component in clinical settings such as breast imaging centers and radiology departments, enabling healthcare professionals to obtain tissue samples for diagnostic purposes through a minimally invasive procedure.

Developed for use under imaging guidance (like stereotactic mammography or ultrasound), the system aids in the precise targeting and collection of breast tissue for histopathological analysis. Its role is crucial in the diagnostic pathway for breast abnormalities detected during screening.

• Primary Application: Facilitates vacuum-assisted biopsy (VAB) for suspicious lesions.
• Intended Environment: Designed for professional use in diagnostic imaging and women's health clinics.
• Clinical Value: Supports the acquisition of high-quality tissue samples necessary for accurate pathological diagnosis.

Procurement Note: This is the Ethicon SCM23 system console. Facilities should verify compatibility with their specific biopsy probes, needles, and guidance systems to ensure proper integration into their existing workflow.
