Device Class
Class 2
Intended Use
The Biopsy Sciences Lung Biopsy Site Marker is intended to provide accuracy in marking a biopsy location for visualization during surgical resection.
Device Story
Device consists of desiccated hydrogel marker deployed via hand-held applicator. Used during lung biopsy procedures performed via fine needle aspiration through coaxial needle. Upon removal of aspiration device, delivery system mates to coaxial needle; plunger deployment places marker into biopsy tract. Marker expands upon contact with fluids to fill tract. Provides visual confirmation of biopsy site during subsequent surgical resection. Benefits include improved accuracy in locating biopsy site for surgeons. Used in clinical settings by physicians.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided; bench testing only.
Technological Characteristics
Desiccated hydrogel (FocalSeal-L) marker; expands on fluid contact. Hand-held applicator delivery system. Mates to coaxial biopsy needles. Resorbable via hydrolysis.
Indications for Use
Indicated for marking biopsy locations in patients undergoing surgical resection of lung tissue to provide visualization of the biopsy site.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An implantable staple is a staple-like device intended to connect internal tissues to aid healing. It is not absorbable.
