Biopsy guides like the SL10-2 Biopsy Needle Guide (KSM-038) 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.
When to replace the guide
- Any crack in the bracket or channel, however small
- The guide no longer clicks or locks firmly onto the probe
- A worn or scored channel that no longer tracks the needle cleanly
- Deformation after autoclaving or disinfection
- Discoloration combined with brittleness of the material
Confirm fit before ordering a replacement
- Photograph the probe’s full manufacturer and model label and send it with the request.
- Include photos of the existing guide or bracket and where it clips onto the probe.
- Quote the reference number printed on the guide or bracket, if legible.
- State the needle gauges you work with and whether reusable or disposable is required.
- 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
Ordering a replacement guide alongside a probe repair? Include both in one request with the probe label photo – compatibility for the guide and repairability for the probe get confirmed in a single assessment.
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.
