Arrow® OnControl® Powered Bone Access System

The Arrow® OnControl® Powered Bone Access System, using its power driver platform combined with procedure-specific trays, represents the first major advance in bone and bone marrow sampling procedures in over 40 years. Teleflex is raising the standard for biopsies and aspirations for cancer centers and interventional radiologists. Our bone marrow biopsy solutions produce larger marrow specimens, which may help provide a more accurate diagnosis.1-4 Our bone lesion biopsy solutions are designed to provide interventional radiologists with a fast, reliable solution for accessing hard-to-reach bone lesions.5

Raising the standard

Powered bone marrow biopsy device vs. manual biopsy devices

  • Consistently larger, high quality core specimens1-4
  • Demonstrated less patient insertion pain2 and significantly less post-procedure patient pain4
  • Fewer second-attempt procedures required1-3
  • Up to 55% faster procedure time to improve efficiency1-4
  • Easy to learn, operate, and control6
  • Demonstrated greater overall patient satisfaction1

A powerful solution

Powered bone lesion biopsy device vs. manual biopsy devices

  • Faster procedure times to help reduce radiation exposure for patient and operator6
  • Rapid access to difficult bone lesions5
  • Provides the ability to effectively, safely, and rapidly obtain high-quality specimens, even from hard bone5
  • Designed for precise control with clear visibility through fluoroscopy7
  • Easy to learn, operate, and control6
