Devicor Medical Products Inc announced that its Mammotome revolve, a dual vacuum-assisted biopsy system, now has US Food and Drug Administration approval for use on patients. Mammotome revolve features a specimen management system capable of collecting and organizing individual tissue samples in numbered, specimen radiograph and pathology-ready chambers that preserve tissue integrity. The system also features DualVac vacuum technology, which gives clinicians the ability to secure larger contiguous tissue samples. These features in combination with a physician controlled variable aperture allow clinicians to confirm or adjust sample acquisition in response to procedural situations to confidently access and acquire challenging lesions.
