ADDITIONAL TRANSPERINEAL BIOPSY RESOURCES
Switching from TR to TP prostate biopsies can feel daunting for many healthcare providers, especially those accustomed to the TR method. Clinicians often cite training concerns, unfamiliarity with the TP technique, lack of biplane probes and equipment, and studies suggesting no significant infection prevention difference between TP and TR as reasons for hesitancy.
Reputable organizations like AUA, MUSIC, and Grand Rounds provide several resources and training materials focused on the efficacy and safety of TP biopsies. To further support education, we have compiled free clinical resources to address these concerns and help healthcare providers confidently adopt the TP biopsy technique.
TP Pivot Pro™ disposable needle guides enable a freehand, minimally invasive approach to ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsies. The transperineal approach can be performed under local or general anesthesia and can reduce the risk of patient infection, improve access to all zones of the prostate, and potentially eliminate the need for antibiotics altogether.
