Mammotome Launches the Innovative AutoCore™ Biopsy System
Mammotome is thrilled to announce the launch of the AutoCore™ Single Insertion Core Biopsy System. This new device represents a significant advancement in breast biopsy technology, being the first automated spring-loaded core needle system introduced into the marketplace. The company remains focused on developing state-of-the-art solutions that enhance patient care and streamline the biopsy process.
Revolutionary Design Enhances Biopsy Procedures
The AutoCore™ system is engineered to simplify and enhance the experience for both physicians and patients. It boasts a unique single insertion design that facilitates ultrasound-guided biopsies while reducing the number of procedural steps required. This innovative technology saves valuable time and improves patient comfort during the biopsy process.
Key Features of the AutoCore™ System
At the heart of the AutoCore™ system is its user-friendly interface which includes single-button functionality for automated arming. This allows healthcare providers to execute all sampling steps with just one button press. This design significantly reduces the need for manual arming, providing ease of use and enabling seamless one-handed operation. Additionally, it features a touchless tissue transfer system which collects samples in a clearly illuminated cup, enhancing visibility and control for the physician.
Enhancing Patient Experience
Another remarkable feature of the AutoCore™ is the wiper arm that automatically moves tissue samples from the device’s aperture to the collection cup. This not only minimizes the need for the physician to remove and reinsert the needle but also helps to maintain concentration on sampling the targeted lesion. Consequently, this design improvement leads to more precise sampling and ultimately contributes to a better overall patient experience.
Commitment to Innovation
Karen Isaacs, Vice President of Engineering and R&D at Mammotome, expresses her enthusiasm about the new device, stating, "Mammotome is committed to improving the biopsy experience for both patients and healthcare professionals. The AutoCore™ system sets a new standard for efficiency in ultrasound core needle breast biopsies, underlining our ongoing dedication to excellence in breast care." This commitment to innovation is evident in Mammotome's design philosophy which prioritizes both functionality and user experience.

The Mammotome AutoCore™ system has received FDA clearance and is expected to be available to clinicians in early 2025. Mammotome also has plans to extend its reach to select international markets, ensuring that more patients and healthcare providers can benefit from this groundbreaking technology.
