How Surefire Needle Guide Promises Precision & Control?Clear Vertical Indicator: The template grid boasts a clear vertical indicator with 9 distinct positions for accurate targeting. Guided Needle Length: Offers a precise 30mm guided needle length, enabling consistent and controlled biopsy core acquisition. Secure Placement: A convenient locker button secures the guide firmly to the perineum, ensuring stability during the procedure. Adjustable Length: Provides a generous 65mm adjustable length for versatility across different patient anatomies. Local Anesthesia Ready: The design and precision allow the procedure to be comfortably performed using only local anesthesia, reducing the need for more invasive sedation or general anesthesia. Expanded Reach: Offers up to 90mm vertical hole size, allowing deeper access compared to competitors. MRI Integration: Can be precisely oriented to align with the patient’s MRI scan, facilitating targeted biopsies of suspicious lesions identified in imaging. Fine Vertical Adjustment: Provides 45mm of vertical adjustment for meticulous targeting.
Applications
The SureFire device is specifically engineered for Transperineal Biopsy of the prostate. This method is a significant improvement over the current transrectal ultrasound-guided biopsy (TRUS) for several reasons:
- Addressing Limitations of TRUS: TRUS can suffer from poor sensitivity, a high incidence of false-negative results, and a notable risk of infection due to its transrectal route
- Improved Diagnosis: SureFire’s transperineal approach and precision features allow for more accurate and targeted biopsies, crucial for early and definitive diagnosis of prostate cancer.
- Routine & Targeted Biopsies: Ideal for both systematic (mapping) biopsies and targeted biopsies of specific lesions identified through MRI.

FAQS
The SureFire Needle Guide is a medical device used for performing a Transperineal Biopsy of the prostate. It is designed to assist urologists in precisely collecting tissue samples for cancer diagnosis.
SureFire is a transperineal device, meaning the biopsy needles are inserted through the perineum (the skin between the scrotum and the anus), not through the rectum. This approach significantly reduces the risk of infection compared to older transrectal biopsy methods.
Yes. By providing excellent access to all areas of the prostate, especially the anterior and apical regions, the SureFire device enhances the accuracy of tissue sampling. It can also be oriented to the patient’s MRI scan for highly precise, targeted biopsies.
Yes, SureFire comes in four different variations specifically designed to be compatible with a wide range of popular ultrasound systems, including models from Hitachi Healthcare and BK Ultrasound, ensuring seamless integration into various clinics.
Yes. The SureFire device is designed for efficiency, with rapid set-up and a shorter overall procedure time (typically 10-12 minutes) compared to many competing devices.
