Vidacare Corp. has announced the launch of an extension of its OnControl Bone Access System, according to a news release.
The extension is a coaxial biopsy tray, which the company says provides a tool for clinicians to access hard bones and perform multiple biopsies from a single penetration of the cortex using Vidacare's power-driver and needle.
Vidacare's OnControl System received an expanded indication from FDA in early 2012 that allowed for its use in the biopsy of vertebral bodies and bone lesions.
"With the OnControl System, clinicians will get access to bone lesions quickly and extract exceptional biopsy samples efficiently," said Mark Mellin, Vidacare's president and CEO, in the release. "This new coaxial tray is a standard-setting technological advance that improves both patient care and the clinician experience."
Vidacare Corp. is headquartered in San Antonio.
