"The standard technique that many urologists learn [is] the transrectal prostate biopsy [technique which] comes at a cost … “If you have a million biopsies a year in the U.S. and up to 1-2% of those are going to get a serious infection, [to the point] where they could even end up in the hospital or in an ICU, that - to me - is just unacceptable, [and] even unethical, to be offering that. So we do this technique simply for safety for patients.“

“[With] the competing product [another disposable freehand guide on the market], I have a harder time getting down low to the peripheral zone, because you're limited by the lowest hole that you can go to. Whereas here [with TP Pivot Pro], you can just pivot down and angle even lower. You're going to have a higher cancer detection rate the lower you are, because you're more in the peripheral zone where most cancers occur and not getting as much transition zone.”

“I feel [it’s] just easier [to] access different parts of the prostate like the anterior prostate…critical to this technique is using a guide that aligns the needle with the array [of] a biplane ultrasound probe… CIVCO’s TP Pivot Pro guide allows us to accurately align our biopsy needle with the array, so we're staying on target, even as we're angling the probe to different parts of the prostate.”
