BxBoard™:
See why over 1 million prostate specimens
have been trusted to the BxBoard
It’s Better for the Urologist
- Clear Visual Quality Feedback: The BxBoard provides clear visual feedback on the completeness of the specimen, ensuring you know exactly what you’re working with before sending it off to the lab.
- Save Time and Effort: An 83% reduction in collection containers saves prep and turn-over time with less container labeling and organization.
“I think the doctors really appreciate that the BxBoards are so much easier to use. They’re able to see the cores on the board and assess the sample quality while the patient is still there. If the quality isn’t good, they can go back in to collect another sample.”
It’s Better for Molecular Testing
- Improve Tissue Quality: The BxBoard reduces over-fixation, minimizing RNA damage and ensuring tissue quality is optimal for advanced molecular testing.
- Reduce Turnaround Time: Achieve up to a 52% faster test result turnaround, with results seamlessly integrated into the EMR for quicker decision-making.
It’s Better for the Pathologist
- Increase Accuracy: The BxBoard’s structured, flat fixation surface minimizes tissue coiling and fragmentation, leading to higher diagnostic accuracy.
- Increase Surface Area for Review: The BxBoard increases histologic tissue surface area (mm2) on the glass slide by an average of 14.5%.
- Reduce Recuts and Errors: Better specimen preservation means fewer recuts and less risk of diagnostic errors due to compromised samples.
It’s Better for Lab Technicians
- Fewer Labels, Fewer Bottles: Techs can enjoy a simplified workflow with fewer containers to manage, label, and process, reducing errors and time spent on repetitive tasks.
- Enhance Tissue Visibility: The flat design ensures you can quickly and clearly see the tissue sample–no more guessing if the core is there or where it’s hiding.
- Safer Environment: Achieve a 92.5% reduction in formalin usage per prostate case, creating a better, more eco-friendly environment for staff.
It’s Better for Data Integrity
- Standardize Collection: Regardless of physician and location.
- More Reliable Results: By reducing tissue fragmentation and handling, the BxBoard preserves the integrity of the sample for more reliable pathology results.
It’s Better for the Patient
- More Precise Diagnoses: Proper orientation of specimens leads to more precise diagnoses and enables targeted, personalized treatment options.
- Increase Tissue Yield: The increased tissue yield provided by the BxBoard results in more accurate diagnoses, giving patients and their care teams greater confidence.
Why Switch to the BxBoard
The conventional method of transporting biopsy tissue to labs relies on formalin-filled jars, which introduce several challenges:
- Loss of tissue orientation during transfer.
- Tissue coiling, folding, or sticking inside jar lids.
- Jars arriving at labs with multiple biopsies clumped together or missing specimens entirely.
The BxBoard is Lumea’s innovative tissue collection and transport device designed to eliminate these inefficiencies. By replacing formalin bottles, it provides a standardized, user-friendly solution that benefits surgery centers, lab staff, and—most importantly—patients.
