BIOPSY PUNCH skin punches

Sterile single-use instrument for accurate and gentle skin biopsies

The biopsy occupies a central place in medical diagnosis. Despite the development of illustrative diagnostics and modern serological evidence procedures, histopathological tissue assessment continues to form the ”Gold Standard“. Given its simplicity of handling, as well as the presentation of a skin test that is neatly defined in terms of its length and diameter, the punch biopsy is currently indispensable as the standard method of taking skin biopsies. The punch biopsy gives a representative cross-section through the entire cutis, as it reaches sufficiently deep and includes a sufficiently wide excision of the cutis. As a rule, a 4mm punch will suffice.

Advantages

As a precision instrument, the STIEFEL® BIOPSY PUNCH provides an easy-to-use, gentle and cost-effective standardised method for performing skin biopsies. As a ready-to-use, sterile single-use instrument, all grinding and sterilising becomes redundant.
