Boston Scientific M00555540 Acquire EUS FNB Needle - 22 Gauge, Franseen Tip

Boston Scientific Acquire™ EUS-FNB | 22G | M00555540

The Boston Scientific Acquire™ (M00555540) is widely regarded as the clinical "workhorse" for Endoscopic Ultrasound-guided Fine Needle Biopsy (EUS-FNB). While cytology needles often return fragmented cells, the 22G Acquire™ is specifically engineered to harvest large, intact histological cores.

By utilizing a proprietary Franseen tip, this device preserves the underlying tissue architecture, providing the essential "tissue-of-origin" data required for precise tumor grading, lymphoma sub-typing, and the high-volume material demands of 2026 molecular profiling.

Key Performance Features

• Franseen "Crown" Tip Geometry: Features a three-point symmetrical cutting edge. This design slices cleanly through dense or fibrotic lesions (common in pancreatic pathology), capturing a core that reflects the true histological state of the target tissue.

• Cobalt Chromium (CoCr) Alloy: The 22G needle is forged from CoCr, which provides superior hardness and kink resistance compared to standard stainless steel. This ensures the needle maintains its "memory" and sharpness throughout multiple passes in high-resistance lesions.

• Maximized Diagnostic Yield: The 22G diameter is optimized to provide a substantial tissue volume, reducing the number of passes required to achieve an adequate sample and potentially lowering procedural time.

• Advanced Echogenicity: The needle tip is engineered for high visibility under ultrasound. This clear echogenic signature allows for precise "fanning" maneuvers while maintaining absolute needle-tip visualization.

• Customizable Reach: Features a needle extension range of 0 to 8 cm and an adjustable working length, allowing for safe and accurate access to perigastric, periduodenal, and mediastinal targets.
