Description
Over a million punch biopsies are ordered every year, but unintuitive techniques create a barrier for untrained yet qualified medical professionals to perform them. Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants need a skin punch biopsy device that lowers the susceptibility of sample retrieval errors and unfavorable wound closure conditions, by standardizing discretionary depth of sampling, tissue incision techniques, and wound closure techniques.
