Philips L12-5 Biopsy Needle Guide (PSM-046)

When your department needs to replace or add a Philips L12-5 biopsy needle guide, this catalogue record covers the procurement essentials. The PSM-046 model is a reusable guide built from medical stainless steel, designed to fit the Philips L12-5 linear probe while also being listed as compatible with MINDRAY equipment. It accepts needles within the stated gauge range and is specified for MSK, Small Parts and Vascular work, although the detailed specification sheet also cites OB/GYN applications. You can request this unit in a Compatible-New condition, meaning the guide is new but sourced as a compatible alternative. Before you commit to an order, verify how the purchase will be handled for your facility, because delivery, packaging and any warranty terms are confirmed individually for each request.

The item is referenced as PHILIPS_PSM-046_L12-5, and the guide operates manually, with no power source. It carries a warranty provision and a return and replacement after-sale service, but these apply only when agreed for your specific order. The quality certification noted is CE. For imaging engineers and dealers, the key point is that this guide is not a generic accessory; its fit to the L12-5 probe geometry and the needle gauge range should be cross-checked against your existing probe and biopsy procedure sheets. Contact the supplier with your exact probe serial and needle size to settle the commercial details before purchase.

Frequently asked questions

Before you order: how do shipping and packaging get decided for this guide?

Shipping and packaging terms are decided per transaction. The factors that shape the final agreement include your destination, the order quantity, the chosen carrier, and any special handling your facility requests for stainless steel components. No standard delivery promise applies to this catalogue record.

What does Compatible-New mean for the PSM-046 variant?

Compatible-New means this guide is a newly manufactured part that is designed to work with the Philips L12-5 probe and the specified MINDRAY compatibility, rather than an original Philips part. It is not a used or refurbished unit, but its exact fit and performance should be confirmed against your probe before ordering.

Will this guide work for my listed application areas?

The specification sheet lists MSK, Small Parts and Vascular as applications, and separately mentions OB/GYN. Since the guide accepts the stated gauge range, it suits typical biopsy procedures in those areas, but you should confirm the needle gauge and probe compatibility with your clinical protocol before placing an order.
