Description
Clinical Benefits

For use with Canon PVT-382BT ultrasound transducers. BX2 Needle Guidance System utilizes a two-part system consisting of a custom reusable bracket and a sterile disposable snap-on needle guide. The uniquely designed system offers two angle options by selecting one of two BX2 guide bodies. Clinicians choose the guide body based on their desired puncture angle. Easy-to-read angles on the guide make it simple to identify in a darkened ultrasound suite. The BX2 needle guide incorporates flexibility and advanced features to increase productivity during ultrasound guided procedures such as tissue biopsy, fluid aspiration, and catheter placement. Once the proper angle is placed in position, users are able to select the appropriate gauge insert, choosing from 8.5FR, 13-23GA (19GA not available). The gauge insert features a large funnel for easy instrument insertion and a tab for quick-release function, allowing easy detachment of the needle from the transducer. Sterile procedure kits contain: BX2 guide body, guide insert, transducer cover, gel packet, and colored elastic bands. Bracket should be cleaned and disinfected according to your User's Guide. Accurate needle path with on-screen guidelines offers physicians real-time visualization ensuring patient safety throughout the procedure. Reduced technique variability provides a shorter learning curve and reduced procedure time. Repeatable, easy-to-use quick-release feature for detachment of guide provides physician flexibility during puncture procedures.

Clinical Benefits

BX2^™ Needle Guide

Clinical Benefit Statement:
Accurate instrument placement with reduced procedure time resulting in adequate yield for pathology.

Increased clinical confidence with improved needle visualization during real-time imaging^1,2
Improves needle visualization within the tissue which increases patient safety⁵
Reduced procedure time from a guided biopsy will correlate with reduced needle manipulation and hence less tissue trauma and less patient discomfort.²
Improved time efficiency by increasing needle visualization and reducing number of needle passes.^{2,3, 5,6}
Efficient and reproducible biopsy technique compared to freehand, ensures confident outcomes.²
Decreases the number of passes required for adequate tissue yield and lowers the risk of developing major complications by 305% compared to freehand during renal biopsy.³
Improve patient safety and comfort during peripheral nerve blocks.⁴
