Setting the Standard for Device performance

The Novatome™ single-use bioptome, like its predecessor the Reusable Bioptome, has set the standard for ease of positioning with a perfect balance of shaft flexibility and stiffness in conjunction with superior torsion control for optimum feel when navigating through the tricuspid valve into the ventricle. The unique single action cutting jaw maximizes sample size while minimizing tissue compression preserving sample quality. Our jaw sharpening geometry and precision alignment produces exceptional cutting performance without tearing. With the new Novatome™, Scholten Surgical continues to provide performance and value.

Tradition Meets the Future

"We are proud to offer the disposable Novatome™ that combines the cutting action that defined the Scholten bioptome with the diposable format expected by customers today." -- Arie Scholten, President, Scholten Surgical

The latest Scholten disposable Bioptome model is called the Novatome and, like its predecessors, is specially designed to acquire maximum specimen size for more accurate pathology results. With a reputation for its ease of positioning and heart rhythm feedback, Scholten Bioptomes have earned high praise.
