We are excited to introduce the TP Pivot Pro™ for transperineal prostate biopsy procedures to UK healthcare professionals. Developed by the dedicated team at CIVCO Medical Solutions, this device enables a smarter approach to prostate biopsies.
The TP Pivot Pro is a disposable needle-guide designed to enhance the benefits of the minimally invasive, freehand transperineal biopsy approach. Research suggests that the transperineal approach, as opposed to the transrectal, can lead to reduced risks of infections and may even eliminate the need for antibiotics following these procedures.
The device is designed with a pivoting coaxial needle that can adjust up to 20 degrees upwards and downwards from its initial parallel path, ensuring precise and full access to the prostate. Additionally, it is compatible with the vast majority of ultrasound probes - without the requirement for tape. Furthermore, the needle height can be adjusted without being removed from the guide or the patient, which helps reduce the number of needle insertions.

With its spectacular scenery and demanding nature, the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge welcomes many hikers – and June 1st was no exception. Last Saturday, Mermaid Medical and Gwent Interventional Radiology laced up their hiking boots, put on their green caps, and grabbed their walking sticks to set out on a challenging journey together in the name of charity.
Earlier this year, we announced our exclusive distribution deal with Single Pass for their Kronos biopsy closure device, and with its recent FDA clearance, Mermaid Medical is ready to introduce the innovative cauterization device to U.S. healthcare professionals!
