In cooperation with Dr David Pelayes of Argentina and Dr Arun Singh of US, Geuder has developed a new 25-gauge cannula for Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy (FNAB) of uveal melanoma. A company spokeswoman said a particular feature of the product, in comparison to former standard cannulas, is the surface millimetre markings which facilitate the precise depth penetration into the uveal melanoma. “Besides, the short bevel of the cannula allows full entry of the needle tip into the tumour, so due to the superior cellularity of the biopsy aspirates the diagnostic yield is higher,†she said.
