Siemens (Acuson) VF13-5 Biopsy Needle Guide (SSM-052)

This catalogue record covers the Siemens (Acuson) VF13-5 Biopsy Needle Guide, model SIEMENS_SSM-052_VF13-5, offered in Compatible-New condition. It is a reusable biopsy needle guide in medical stainless steel, sized for a gauge range, and intended for OB/GYN and urology applications. The guide is manual in operation and carries a CE quality certification. As a compatible component rather than a Siemens-manufactured part, the procurement workflow centres on confirming fit against your existing VF13-5 probe and your procedural needs.

For hospital procurement and imaging engineers, the key steps are verifying probe compatibility, reviewing the return and replacement after-sale service, and agreeing delivery timelines through written quotation. This catalogue entry does not fix lead times or shipping terms; those are settled case by case after you contact the supplier. Include your probe serial number and intended needle gauge in the enquiry so the quotation reflects your exact requirement.

For related catalogue records, see Biopsy Guides and the Siemens (Acuson) V714T Endocavity Ultrasound Probe, which shares the endocavity category and may be ordered alongside this guide for a matched procurement package.
