The (CAMPROBE, the CAMbridge PROstate Biopsy) device enabling universally accessible low cost and safe out-patient local anesthetic transperineal biopsies is a cannulated transperineal access system based on the co-axial concept but bespoke to the context of prostate biopsies. The integrated device allows for synchronous device insertion and local anesthesia infiltration under ultrasound guidance, negating the need for separate punctures, nerve blocks or sedation. Once in position, standard 18G core-needle biopsies can be taken through the retained cannula.
