The FioniaVet Equine Muscle Biopsy Needle is the preferred instrument for obtaining high-quality muscle biopsy samples in equine patients. Designed according to the modified Bergström principle, it has been optimized to meet the specific anatomical and clinical requirements of the horse.

With a needle length of 4” (10 cm) and a diameter of 18 Fr (6 mm), the instrument allows for the reliable collection of substantial, diagnostically valuable tissue samples. The slightly larger diameter compared to standard human biopsy needles, combined with the additional cutting rings, facilitates the retrieval of approximately 250 mg of muscle tissue or a core measuring one inch or more in length.

This needle has been widely used in both clinical and research settings for more than three decades. It is particularly suited for gluteal muscle biopsies and has demonstrated an excellent safety profile, with only mild bleeding reported at the time of biopsy and no significant complications. Horses typically recover quickly and are able to return to work the following day, contributing to high owner acceptance and compliance in both clinical diagnostics and research studies.

The FioniaVet Equine Muscle Biopsy Needle offers reliability, safety, and consistent sample quality, making it an essential instrument for equine practitioners and researchers alike.
