An accurate diagnosis starts with adequate tissue.
Maverix offers a suite of endobronchial instruments for interventional pulmonologists — from forceps for histological sampling of the airway wall, to ultrasound-guided needles for submucosal and extramural targets, to a cryoprobe that takes tissue biopsies by cryoadhesion and removes foreign bodies, mucus plugs, clots, and necrotic tissue.
A single-use, completely disposable, console-free cryobiopsy probe — handheld and self-contained, with selectable sampling lengths and no cryo console to purchase or service.
Explore the Narwhal Cryo System
Handheld and self-contained. Each probe is powered by a single-use Cryo cartridge, freeing cryobiopsy from a fixed console — simplifying setup and use.
A pointed, radiopaque cryoprobe tip facilitates direct access for efficient biopsy sampling.
Selectable tip length puts the physician in control. An integrated adjustment dial offers short (~3 mm) or long (~6 mm) options, allowing sample size matching to the target.
In our preclinical animal studies, the Maverix Narwhal cryobiopsy probe met every predefined endpoint for performance and safety, capturing high-quality samples with no clinically significant bleeding or pneumothorax observed. (37 biopsy samples across 3-, 5-, and 7-second freeze times)
All predefined performance endpoints met.
Pneumothorax observed or major bleeding events.*
Average biopsy sample weight by sampling length.
Data on file at Maverix. Predefined performance endpoints: avulsion success rate, biopsy weight, usability, bleeding, pneumothorax, gross necropsy, histological accessibility, and percent artifact-free biopsy samples. Fluoroscopy time and radiation dose were also characterized in this analysis. *Minor bleeding was observed in some samplings; it was not clinically significant, met the pre-determined acceptance criteria, and was statistically the same as the comparison device. As with any cryosurgical procedure, bleeding and pneumothorax are potential risks — refer to the Instructions for Use. Preclinical results may not be representative of clinical performance.
All devices are prescription-only, for use by trained physicians. See each product’s Instructions for Use for complete indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
