Painless, Faster Microbiopsy Device

Apr-18-18 A microbiopsy device that can take skin samples without scarring could revolutionize how doctors test for skin cancer.

The device, which is much less invasive than current methods, is equipped with a small needle able to take a sample of skin about 0.15 mm wide and 0.4 mm deep. In addition to being virtually painless, the procedure is faster than a typical biopsy, reducing the need for local anesthesia, and leaves no scar—making it ideal for checking areas of the face or head.
