Bard C1410A TruGuide Disposable Coaxial Biopsy Needle - 13G x 7.8cm, with Depth Stop

Bard TruGuide Coaxial Biopsy Needle | 13G x 7.8 cm | C1410A

The Bard TruGuide C1410A is a specialized introducer needle engineered for 2026 standards in percutaneous soft tissue biopsy. Designed as a guiding "channel," this coaxial needle allows for the safe and efficient harvest of multiple tissue cores through a single skin puncture. By maintaining a clear, stable path to the target lesion, the TruGuide significantly reduces procedural time and minimizes patient trauma.

Featuring ultra-thin wall construction, the C1410A is sized at 13-gauge—exactly one gauge larger than its corresponding 14-gauge core biopsy needles—ensuring a seamless fit and effortless instrument passage during high-stakes diagnostic procedures.

Key Performance Features

• Coaxial Guidance System: Provides a fixed access point, allowing for repeated passes of a core biopsy needle without the need for multiple skin incisions.

• Ultra-Thin Wall Design: Maximizes the internal diameter while maintaining a compact outer profile, ensuring a smooth interface with 14-gauge core biopsy instruments.

• Advanced Echogenic Technology: The needle tip is specifically treated for enhanced visibility under ultrasound guidance, allowing for precise placement in deep-seated lesions.

• Color-Coded Depth Stop: Features an integrated, green-coded depth stop for rapid gauge identification and precise depth control, ensuring the needle tip is positioned accurately relative to the target anatomy.

• Single-Insertion Efficiency: Ideal for complex biopsies of the breast, liver, lung, or kidney where multiple samples are required to ensure diagnostic accuracy.
