Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The objective of the study is to assess the design features of a modified stainless steel access needle (single use disposable) in a clinical setting and a disposable, single use, custom-made, polymer needle guide used in conjunction with a rectal ultrasound probe. The disposable stainless steel access needle may be used with or without the disposable needle guide, but will always be used with ultrasound image guidance and a biopsy gun. The primary purpose of the single-use disposable access needle is to guide the use of a biopsy gun to obtain a tissue sample from the patient's prostate gland through a percutaneous puncture of the perineum. The primary purpose of the disposable needle guide is to stabilize the needle biopsy and better approximate the most direct path to the prostate.
