Introduction
The document describes the Modified Menghini biopsy needle with IFR (Internal Flushing Rescue) technology, designed for full recovery of biopsied cells. It is part of a set for co-axial procedures under CT scanning, featuring a dedicated needle-guide.

Specifications
The biopsy needle is available in various gauges (16 to 22) and lengths (9 to 20 cm). It features a razor-sharpened cannula with a trocar bevel point, available in standard and ultra-thin wall options. The needle is designed for single-patient use and is sterile to reduce infection risks.

Technological Features
1. IFR Technology: Ensures full recovery of cells usually lost in the cannula or syringe, enhancing diagnostic accuracy.
2. Double Sampling: Allows for both cytological and micro-histological sampling through a single puncture, improving diagnostic yield, especially in hepatic diseases and hepatocarcinoma.
3. SAC Technique: Stereo Abrasive Cytology technique recovers cytological samples free from stroma, increasing sensitivity.
4. Echonox Technology: Provides full ultrasound visualization of the cannula, eliminating the risk of malignant cell seeding.
5. Automatic Vacuum Assistance: Enhances ease of use with ergonomic design.

Applications and Benefits
The needle is particularly beneficial in procedures involving fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB), where it significantly reduces cell loss and improves diagnostic precision. It is suitable for use in CT and MRI procedures, with specific sets available.

Clinical References
The document cites several studies and clinical trials that validate the efficacy and accuracy of the biopsy needle in diagnosing liver lesions and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Conclusion
The Modified Menghini biopsy needle with IFR technology by Sterylab offers significant advancements in biopsy procedures, ensuring higher diagnostic accuracy and ease of use for medical professionals.
