Hatch Medical Partners with Physician Inventor to
Broker Co-axial Biopsy System Adaptor
Duluth, Georgia -
Hatch Medical, L.L.C., a medical device incubator and technology brokerage firm,
announced today that it has recently entered into an agreement with Australian
physician inventor and interventional radiologist, John Coucher, M.D., to broker
his patent-pending Co-axial Biopsy System Adaptor.
Dr. Coucher's ingeniously simple and inexpensive device allows for adjustable and precise biopsy needle excursions without utilizing an "adjustable-firing-depth" biopsy device, allowing licensing companies the opportunity for deeper penetration into the global $200 million core-tissue biopsy market.
Paul Gianneschi, Managing Principal at Hatch Medical stated, "We are very pleased to be working with Dr. Coucher on this project, and believe this technology addresses an unmet clinical need that has been echoed by numerous clinicians over the years. Although a variety of devices and techniques have been developed to assist clinicians with core-tissue biopsy procedures, none have been proven to be simpler or more cost-effective than Dr. Coucher's device".
According to John Coucher, M.D., "Our clinical work suggests that this device provides for safer biopsy procedures because of the accurate control it gives over the exact area being biopsied. Moreover, it can be used with almost any fixed throw co-axial biopsy system in use today providing an instant upgrade in the capabilities of such widely used systems".
This technology is available and may be licensed or acquired by interested third parties through an exclusive agreement with Hatch Medical.
