The EDM Imaging Hitachi Reusable Needle Guide – Long is a positioning accessory, not a repairable device: when a guide is cracked, worn or no longer locks onto the probe, the correct action is replacement. This page helps you confirm the right replacement for your exact probe.

Why biopsy guides are replaced rather than repaired
A biopsy guide constrains the needle path relative to the imaging plane. Cracks, deformation or channel wear shift that path, so a damaged guide is a safety issue rather than a repair candidate. Replacement restores the original geometry; repair cannot be verified to.
This reference is listed for the following probe(s): Confirm the exact source product title and probe label. Bracket geometry differs even between visually similar probes, so the pairing above is the starting point – not proof of fit.
When to replace the guide
- Visible cracks anywhere on the bracket or needle channel
- Loose or unreliable locking onto the probe
- A worn or scored channel that no longer tracks the needle cleanly
- Deformation after autoclaving or disinfection
- Brittle, discolored material that flexes differently than new
Confirm fit before ordering a replacement
- Send a clear photograph of the complete probe manufacturer and model label.
- Include photos of the existing guide or bracket and where it clips onto the probe.
- State the guide or bracket reference if it is printed on the part.
- State the needle gauges you work with and whether reusable or disposable is required.
- Note your sterilization or disinfection workflow so the right configuration is offered.
Similar probe names do not prove that two brackets are interchangeable – the attachment geometry and channel spec decide fit, so compatibility is confirmed against your exact probe label.
Ordering a replacement guide with a probe repair
If the probe itself is also damaged, mention it in the same request – a probe repair and a replacement guide can be assessed and quoted together, which is usually faster than handling them separately.
The illustration is representative and is not a photograph of this exact guide. This record does not claim OEM authorization or universal fit. Compatibility, included components, availability and commercial terms are confirmed in writing for the exact probe and guide reference.
