For some frequently asked questions regarding the use of the bone graft device answered by Dr. Recker, please view the FAQ Brochure. One frequently asked question is, "What is your opinion with regards to the number of procedures you would recommend before reconditiong the Trephine Cutter Device?" "2 - 5 biopsies. You will notice that I send the trephines in for "touching up" quite often. I rarely do more than 3 or 4 biopsies with a trephine before sending it to you for sharpening." -Dr. Recker FAQ Brochure (PDF) A VHS video cassette is available. The video outlines tools and procedures necessary and demonstrates where and how to safely obtain an outpatient percutaneous 7.5mm bone biopsy utilizing the Rochester Bone Biospy™ Kit on an actual patient. The video is narrated by Stephen F. Hodgson, M.D., of the Mayo Clinic.
