Biyopsi: Redefining Biopsy Devices

A Revolutionary Design by Hakan Gürsu

The Biyopsi device, designed by Hakan Gürsu, is a groundbreaking innovation in the field of biopsy devices. Unlike traditional devices, the mechanism of the Biyopsi is run in a cartridge placed inside, rather than being built on the inner parts of the outer caps. This unique design allows for the redesign of shells or the use of the mechanism under different brands, providing flexibility and customization options for medical professionals.

One of the standout features of the Biyopsi device is its ergonomic and lightweight design, making it easy to handle and control with just one hand. The device features dual triggers, which reduce the necessary force to mount the device, ensuring a comfortable and efficient user experience.

The usage of the Biyopsi device is simple and intuitive. The needle is placed in the target tissue area, and the first trigger is pulled to arm the device, drawing back the tip of the needle to expose the opening. When the second trigger is pulled, the device is ready for firing. With two firing button choices, the device can be easily used in different positions. The instrument is fired to obtain the sample, and the firing action can be performed with just one hand. The Biyopsi device offers two different sample size options, allowing samples to be taken as either 10 mm or 20 mm notches.

Another notable feature of the Biyopsi device is its color-coded inner mechanism, which allows for easy identification and insertion of different-sized needles into the device. This ensures efficiency and accuracy during procedures, saving valuable time for medical professionals.

The Biyopsi device has received recognition for its innovative design. In 2012, it was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Medical Devices and Medical Equipment Design category. This prestigious award is bestowed upon outstanding and creatively ingenious designs that authenticate experience and resourcefulness. The Biyopsi device was commended for its incorporation of best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to improvements in quality of life and making the world a better place.

The Biyopsi device, with its unique features and user-friendly design, is set to revolutionize the field of biopsy devices. Its innovative mechanism and customizable options make it a standout choice for medical professionals seeking a reliable and efficient tool for soft tissue sampling.
