BD Bard EnCor® Vacuum Tubing Set | SCTUB3000

The BD Bard SCTUB3000 is the essential fluidic interface for the original EnCor® Breast Biopsy System. Engineered to maintain the high-flow vacuum required for Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (VAB), this sterile, single-use tubing set ensures the acquisition of large, contiguous tissue cores. By providing a stable, kink-resistant path between the biopsy probe and the vacuum canister, the SCTUB3000 facilitates precise tissue pull and transport, which is critical for accurate histopathological diagnosis.

Key Performance Features

• High-Flow Vacuum Maintenance: Specifically calibrated to the original EnCor console’s pump specifications, ensuring consistent negative pressure for reliable tissue capture, even in dense or fibrous breast tissue.

• Kink-Resistant Architecture: Constructed from medical-grade, flexible polymers designed to resist collapse under high-vacuum loads. This allows for maximum maneuverability of the handheld probe during ultrasound-guided or stereotactic procedures.

• Aseptic Fluid Management: Provides a closed system for the transport of tissue and fluids, protecting the console sensors from contamination and simplifying post-procedural cleanup.

• Precision Luer Connectors: Features secure-lock interfaces that prevent air leaks, ensuring the vacuum level reported on the console reflects the actual pressure at the probe aperture.

• Single-Use Sterility: Individually sterile-packed to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, directly supporting hospital infection control protocols.

Clinical & Institutional Advantages

• Consistent Sample Quality: By ensuring optimal vacuum pressure, the SCTUB3000 helps minimize "dry" or fragmented samples, reducing the need for repeat samplings and shortening overall procedure time.

• Device Longevity: Using genuine Bard tubing prevents the strain on the console’s vacuum motor that can occur with improperly sized or non-compliant generic alternatives.

• Economic Efficiency: Sourcing genuine Bard overstock allows diagnostic centers to maintain the OEM-validated standards required for their biopsy platforms while achieving significant savings over standard distributor pricing.

Ideal Applications

• Vacuum-Assisted Breast Biopsy (VAB): Core tissue acquisition under various imaging modalities (Ultrasound, X-ray).

• Diagnostic Radiology: High-volume breast biopsy programs requiring reliable, standardized consumables.

• Tissue Removal: Management of benign lesions or hematoma aspiration using the EnCor system.
