    Author: Tamburro R, Millanta F, Del Signore F, Terragni R, Magni T, Vignoli M.
    Journal: Top Companion Anim Med; 2020 Aug; 40():100436. PubMed ID: 32690281.
    Abstract:
    This study evaluated the accuracy and diagnostic quality of histological samples obtained with the Spirotome device on biopsies from dogs affected by canine nasal tumors. Eleven dogs were included in this study. The mean age was 10 years. All biopsies were successfully performed within 15 minutes. All dogs showed nasal bleeding after the biopsies, which was quickly managed by applying intranasal compression with sterile cotton swabs. Bleeding stopped within 10 minutes after sampling. All biopsy samples were considered satisfactory by the pathologist, allowing a proper histological assessment.
