The Affirm® Prone Breast Biopsy System delivers faster, more comfortable procedures by increasing automation, providing superior imaging, and offering 360° access to the breast, creating a better experience for both patients and providers.
With high-quality 2D or tomosynthesis (3D™) imaging and a field of view more than 6.5 times larger than older generations of prone biopsy systems,1 clinicians can visualize more tissue and precisely identify subtle lesions and faint calcifications that may not be visible in older systems. It also allows for easy software upgrades from 2D to 3D imaging at any time.
A biopsy system designed for efficiency, with automated tube movement, pre-programmed needle parameters, and one-click targeting. Its intuitive software and increased automation promote faster, more efficient workflow, while fewer procedural steps help reduce the possibility of manual errors.
The fully integrated C-arm and bidirectional patient positioning provides a new level of 360° access to the breast, improving access to some of the most challenging lesions. The system features independently rotating biopsy arms and an exclusive lateral needle approach, allowing clinicians to switch between standard or acquire additional images in seconds.
More than 95% of patients reported that their prone biopsy procedure was faster, more comfortable, and less painful than expected.3 The system is designed with patients’ physical and emotional comfort in mind. Direct view of the biopsy needle is eliminated, helping to reduce patient stress, while clinicians can quickly identify, target, and access lesions to minimize time spent in compression.
