Biopsy guides like the Leapmed 10203002 Disposable Biopsy Needle Guide for Philips L12-4 are replaced rather than repaired – the bracket geometry and needle channel must stay within tolerance, and a worn or damaged guide should come out of service. Use this page to confirm fit before ordering a replacement.

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): Philips: L12-4. 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
- Any crack in the bracket or channel, however small
- 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
- Photograph the probe’s full manufacturer and model label and send it with the request.
- Photograph the current guide or bracket, including the attachment point on the probe.
- Quote the reference number printed on the guide or bracket, if legible.
- Specify the needle gauge range and whether you need a reusable or disposable configuration.
- Confirm sterilization or disinfection requirements in the request.
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.
