Bard EleVation Breast Biopsy System

The BD EleVation Breast Biopsy System is a state-of-the-art, handheld vacuum-assisted breast biopsy device designed for precision, speed, and enhanced patient comfort. Developed for ultrasound-guided diagnostic procedures, the EleVation system utilizes Single Insertion Multiple Sample (SIMS) technology, enabling clinicians to collect multiple tissue samples with a single insertion—improving efficiency and minimizing patient trauma.

Overview

This versatile system offers seamless usability with an ergonomic, lightweight driver, a quick setup process, and minimal accessory requirements. Compatible with various probe gauges, the EleVation system provides high-quality tissue samples and integrates smoothly into ultrasound-guided breast biopsy workflows. Its TriConcave probe tip and echogenic markings ensure precise targeting under ultrasound imaging, while an integrated LED indicator enhances procedural confidence. Ideal for radiology centers, breast clinics, and surgical suites, the BD EleVation system sets a new standard in minimally invasive breast biopsy technology.
