Arrow OnControl Bone Marrow Biopsy Procedure Overview
A bone marrow biopsy and aspiration is a procedure in which a sample of bone marrow aspirate and bone are removed and sent for pathologic examination. A bone marrow biopsy may be done to evaluate potential hematologic disorders. For example: anemia, lymphoma, leukemia, and other disorders can be examined from marrow specimens. Bone marrow biopsies are often obtained from the bony pelvis. The Arrow OnControl bone marrow system is intended for bone marrow aspiration of adult and pediatric patients.
