Miltex® Sterile Disposable Biopsy Punch
8mm Diameter | Sold Each | Colour-Coded | Sterile, Single-Use

The Miltex® Sterile Disposable Biopsy Punch (33-37) 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 8mm in diameter, this punch is the largest size in the Miltex® disposable range, providing a substantial tissue core for procedures requiring extensive diagnostic sampling, such as larger lesions, excisional biopsies of broader areas, or cases where a wide margin of surrounding tissue is needed for complete 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.
