Now available in two additional sizes, 12 and 20 mm, the Intact Breast Lesion Excision System (BLES) provides physicians with more flexibility in diagnostic choice.
The Intact BLES procedure is a vacuum-assisted, image-guided procedure in which a slender probe is inserted through a small incision to remove a small lump of suspicious tissue.
Because the procedure produces a larger, intact specimen from the region of interest, it is less prone to sampling error and increases the opportunity for diagnostic accuracy compared to percutaneous core biopsy.
