Safe Cut

Safe Cut

Patient-friendly Lock-Wire technology

We have designed the Lock-Wire technology to ensure easy and gentle biopsy retrieval. Following the puncture, the patented Lock-Wire is inserted into the cannula. Two 360° rotations completely separate the sample from the medullary cavity avoiding patients having to experience the cannula being moved back and forth to separate the sample.

Experimental study to compare bone marrow biopsy systems

Our products regularly deliver compelling results in independent studies. In an independent study conducted at the Freiburg University Clinic*, out of eight instruments, the SOMATEX Bone Marrow Biopsy Systems Safe Cut and Bone Marrow were the only systems that achieved the overall mark A.
