1. What is the Breast Biopsy System?

 

The Breast Biopsy System is a medical device designed to collect breast tissue samples for pathological evaluation, aiming to determine whether any detected abnormalities or suspicious masses within the breast are cancerous or indicative of other diseases. This system allows targeted sampling within the breast tissue, laying the foundation for further diagnosis and treatment. It usually includes needle instruments, imaging equipment (e.g., ultrasound, X-ray, or stereotactic equipment), localization tools, suction systems, and possibly navigational or ancillary equipment. As a type of biopsy needle, Manners Technology specializes in the manufacture of its needle instruments, especially for its cutting cannula, tip and notch cannula.


 

2. Applications

 

A Breast Biopsy System is a specialized medical device designed to obtain tissue samples from the breast for diagnostic purposes. This system is a critical tool in the field of oncology, specifically in the evaluation of suspicious breast abnormalities detected through various imaging techniques like mammography, ultrasound, or MRI. These abnormalities, which could be masses, microcalcifications, distortions, or other irregularities, necessitate further investigation to determine their nature.

 

The main application of the Breast Biopsy System lies in its ability to facilitate precise tissue sampling from the suspicious area within the breast. By using a combination of biopsy needles, imaging guidance (such as ultrasound or stereotactic methods), and targeting tools, healthcare professionals can accurately obtain tissue samples for subsequent pathological analysis. This analysis is fundamental in distinguishing between malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) tissue, providing crucial diagnostic insights.


 

Moreover, the biopsy results obtained through this system play a significant role in cancer detection, staging, and treatment planning. The type, grade, and stage of breast cancer can be determined based on the analysis of the tissue samples. This information is essential for tailoring an appropriate and personalized treatment plan for each patient, which may include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or a combination of these. Additionally, the system aids in monitoring treatment response, allowing for treatment adjustments when necessary.

 

Furthermore, breast biopsy samples obtained using this system contribute to ongoing research and clinical studies. These samples provide valuable insights into breast cancer biology, leading to advancements in diagnostic methods, treatment modalities, and ultimately improving patient outcomes. Overall, the Breast Biopsy System is a fundamental tool in modern oncology, enabling accurate diagnosis, individualized treatment, and progress in breast cancer research and patient care.


 

3. Manufacturing

 

The metal component in the Breast Biopsy System is the keystone of the procedure. Its design, precision, and functionality are instrumental in ensuring the accuracy of the biopsy, minimizing patient discomfort, and providing reliable tissue samples for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Manners Technology excels in manufacturing the metal component of the Breast Biopsy System, underscoring its paramount importance. The manufacturing process of the Breast Biopsy System involves precision mechanical machining and assembly.

 

The Cutting Cannula, a pivotal component, is essential for accurately cutting breast tissue samples. The process initiates with the careful selection of high-quality stainless steel, typically 304 or 316L, known for superior corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Advanced CNC grinding machines are then employed to achieve precise cutting, ensuring the diameter and length of the cannula meet the exact specifications. A grinding machine is subsequently utilized to attain a smooth surface and precise dimensions in the final product.


 

Moving to the Tip, a critical part of the biopsy needle directly influencing sampling accuracy, the manufacturing process begins with the precise cutting of high-quality stainless steel to achieve the initial shape of the needle tip. This material is then subjected to CNC precision machining, where the tip is accurately shaped to ensure sharpness and precision. The needle tip undergoes polishing to achieve a smooth surface, minimizing tissue damage during sampling.


 

The Notch Cannula, featuring a notched opening for tissue sample localization and collection, undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process. It begins with mold design and manufacturing to ensure the accurate dimensions and shape of the notched cannula. Pre-cut metal materials are shaped using molds to form the notched cannula, and subsequent polishing ensures a smooth notch, preventing tissue damage during sample collection.


 

This integrated approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the manufacturing and processing steps involved in crafting these crucial metal components within the Breast Biopsy System. The precision and quality in the production of these components are vital to ensure accurate and reliable biopsy procedures, further contributing to advancements in medical diagnostics and treatments.
