Cryobiopsy is an established clinical application of the ERBECRYO® 2 with flexible cryoprobes.
The flexible single-use cryoprobe with oversheath is our latest technology extension – measuring 1.1 mm, the thinnest cryoprobe in our portfolio. The atraumatic oversheath supports a quick and easy retrieval of the biopsy. No removal of the bronchoscope is necessary.
Flexible cryoprobes enable peripherial (transbronchial) biopsies with superior quality.
Crush artifacts and tissue bleeding can be avoided while the morphological structure of the specimen remains intact.
Furthermore, the extraction with flexible cryoprobes enables much bigger biopsies than flexible forceps.
Since the target tissue can be frozen to the cryoprobe frontally and tangentially, a biopsy is also possible in hard to reach target areas.
