Miltex® Sterile Disposable Biopsy Punch
3mm Diameter | Sold Each | Colour-Coded | Sterile, Single-Use

The Miltex® Sterile Disposable Biopsy Punch (33-32) delivers the feel and cutting performance of a traditional stainless steel punch in a single-use, sterile format. Each punch features a seamless, razor-sharp stainless steel cutting edge engineered to produce clean, uniform tissue cores without the torn or pulled margins that can occur with dull or reused instruments, supporting more reliable histopathology results.

At 3mm in diameter, this punch is among the most frequently used sizes in dermatologic practice, offering a sample size well-suited to standard lesion biopsies where a larger core than 2mm or 2.5mm supports more definitive histological evaluation. The punch is colour-coded by size for quick identification at the point of care, with sizing clearly marked on each unit to reduce the risk of selecting the wrong instrument mid-procedure.

The ribbed handle is designed for a secure, comfortable grip, giving clinicians precise control and consistent depth during sampling. Supplied sterile with a 5-year shelf life, each punch is intended for single-use only, eliminating reprocessing costs and reducing the risk of cross-contamination associated with reusable punches.

This item is available as a single each, allowing clinicians to stock exactly the quantity needed. It is part of the Integra Miltex Dermatology Catalogue and is available in a range of diameters to suit different biopsy requirements.
