    Author: Pokieser P, Kain R, Helbich T, Mallek R, Walter RM, Tscholakoff D, Mostbeck GH.
    Journal: Radiology; 1993 Feb; 186(2):573-6. PubMed ID: 8421768.
    Abstract:
    A nondisposable full-cut biopsy gun with a disposable needle (system 1, prototype of system 2) and a disposable gun-needle combination (system 2) were compared with conventional needles and Tru-Cut-type biopsy systems in renal parenchymal biopsy procedures. In cadaveric kidneys, more glomeruli were harvested with system 1 than with four other biopsy systems. In native kidneys, more glomeruli were harvested and core quality was better with system 2 than with a Tru-Cut-type biopsy gun.
