GTK151 Transperineal Needle Guide by Geotek
Experience precision and safety with the GTK151 Transperineal Biopsy Needle Guide. Designed specifically for use with BK transperineal ultrasound probes 8818 and E1ec4t (9018), it ensures accurate, minimally invasive prostate biopsies.
Key Features:
- Minimally Invasive Freehand Approach: Enables a freehand, ultrasound-guided technique for transperineal prostate biopsies, offering flexibility and precision in needle placement.
- Enhanced Patient Safety: The disposable design minimizes the risk of infection and cross-contamination, ensuring a sterile procedure every time. This approach can reduce the need for antibiotics, lowering the risk of antibiotic resistance.
- Comprehensive Prostate Access: Compatible with 15G-18G instruments, the guide allows improved access to all prostate zones, including difficult-to-reach anterior areas, increasing the detection rate of clinically significant diseases.
- Versatile Anesthesia Options: Suitable for procedures under local or general anesthesia, adapting to patient needs and clinical settings.
- FDA Cleared: Meets rigorous safety and efficacy standards, providing peace of mind for clinicians and patients alike.
- Enhanced Clinical Efficiency: The freehand method streamlines the procedure, potentially reducing time and associated costs compared to traditional methods. It also supports a higher cancer detection rate due to better sampling of the prostate.
Why Choose GTK151?
The transperineal approach facilitated by the GTK151 guide improves procedural accuracy and significantly lowers the risk of complications like infections and rectal bleeding common in transrectal biopsies. With this guide, clinicians can offer safer, more effective prostate biopsies that align with the latest clinical guidelines and best practices.

FAQs
FAQs for GTK151 Transperineal Biopsy Needle Guide
- What is the GTK151 Transperineal Biopsy Needle Guide used for? The GTK151 is designed to guide biopsy needles during ultrasound-guided transperineal prostate biopsies. It ensures accurate needle placement, enhancing the precision and safety of the procedure.
- How does the disposable design of the GTK151 improve patient safety? The single-use design of the GTK151 reduces the risk of infection and cross-contamination between patients. This is particularly important in minimizing post-biopsy complications and may reduce the need for antibiotics, lowering the risk of antibiotic resistance.
- Is the GTK151 compatible with different needle sizes? Yes, the GTK151 is compatible with 15G, 16G, 17G, and 18G biopsy needles, making it versatile and suitable for various procedural needs and preferences.
- . What ultrasound systems are the GTK151 guides compatible with? The GTK151 guides are designed to be compatible with BK 8818 and 9018 (E14c4t) ultrasound probes, ensuring optimal performance during transperineal biopsy procedures.
- What are the benefits of using the transperineal approach with the GTK151? The transperineal approach, facilitated by the GTK151, reduces the risk of infections and rectal bleeding compared to the transrectal approach. It also allows better access to all prostate zones, including the anterior zone, improving the detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancers. This approach can be performed under local or general anesthesia, offering flexibility and improved patient comfort.
- What kind of anesthesia is required for procedures using the GTK151? Procedures using the GTK151 can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinician’s preference. This flexibility helps in tailoring the procedure to individual patient needs.
- How does the GTK151 improve the accuracy of prostate biopsies? The GTK151 provides precise needle guidance, ensuring accurate placement and better sampling of all prostate zones. This increases the likelihood of detecting clinically significant prostate cancers, especially in challenging areas like the anterior zone.
- What makes the GTK151 different from other needle guides on the market? The GTK151 stands out due to its compatibility with multiple needle sizes, its sterile, disposable design that reduces infection risk, and its specific design for transperineal use, which improves access to all prostate zones and reduces complications.
- Is the GTK151 easy to use for clinicians new to the transperineal biopsy technique? Yes, the GTK151 is designed for ease of use, even for clinicians new to the transperineal biopsy technique. Its precise needle guidance and compatibility with standard ultrasound probes make it straightforward to integrate into clinical practice.
- What are the regulatory approvals for the GTK151? The GTK151 is FDA cleared, ensuring it meets stringent regulatory standards for safety and effectiveness. This provides confidence in its use for both clinicians and patients.
