Biopsy needle

A biopsy needle is a specialized medical tool used to obtain a small sample of tissue from the body for microscopic examination. It’s designed to be precise, minimizing discomfort and risk. The needle typically penetrates the skin and targeted tissue, capturing cells or small tissue fragments for analysis. This helps doctors diagnose conditions like cancer, infections, or other abnormalities. Modern biopsy needles come in various sizes and types, often guided by imaging techniques like ultrasound or CT scans, ensuring accurate sample collection from the area of concern without the need for open surgery.
