兩種拋棄式微創設備，一種穿刺活檢系統專門設計用于獲取組織標本，以及一種腫瘤定位標記設備，在2005年11月Dusseldorf(Germany)醫療設備展示會上進行了展示。

Quick-Shot是一種半自動穿刺活檢系統，特別設計用于質地較軟的組織和器官獲取標本。該設備為醫生按照不同大小組織質量提供了兩種不同的選擇。這對從較小病變處輕輕地獲取組織特別有幫助。這套系統特別輕便，單手即可完成操作。 非創傷針頭有厘米刻度，能夠配合超聲波或者CT掃描檢查系統使用。

Tuloc設計用于手術前對腫瘤進行標記，用于乳房影像學檢查系統。單纖維標記導線在高壓下十分穩定，從而可以在高度鈣化的區域使用。

這兩種產品都是由Somatex醫療技術公司(Teltow, Germany)開發的，作為該公司當前產品線的延伸產品。Somatex十分擅長開發制造可拋棄式微創檢查設備，用于腫瘤消融、脊柱整型、穿刺活檢和腫瘤等領域。該公司側重于使用核磁共振下使用的微創操作。

Biopsy and Tumor-Marking Disposables
 
Two disposable minimally invasive instruments, a needle biopsy system specifically developed for obtaining histologically viable tissue material, and a tumor localization-and-marking set, were presented at the Medica show in Dusseldorf (Germany) in November 2005.

Quick-Shot, a semi-automatic needle biopsy system, was specially developed for obtaining histologically usable tissue material from soft parts and organs. It offers the surgeon the option of two different biopsy material quantities. This is particularly useful for gentle withdrawal of tissue in smaller lesions. The system is very light and can be used with a single-handed technique. The nontraumatic needle has centimeter markings and can be used in conjunction with ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) imaging systems.

Tuloc is designed for the preoperative marking of tumors and was developed for use with mammography. The monofilament marking wire has very high pressure stability and allows usage even in areas of strong calcification.

Both products were developed by Somatex Medical Technologies (Teltow, Germany) as an extension of its current product range. Somatex specializes in the development and manufacturing of disposable, minimally invasive instruments in the areas of tumor ablation, vertebroplasty, biopsy, and oncology. The company focuses on instruments for minimally invasive operations using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
