Biopsies and Marrow Donations Facilitated by Innovation

Less-Painful Biopsies by Shirley Wang.  The Wall Street Journal.  October 16, 2012.

The OnControl Bone Marrow Systems by Vidacare Corp. was the winner of the Wall Street Journal's Innovation Award in the category of Medical Devices.  The device which bores like a drill is designed to lessen the pain, quickens the process, lessens the need for more than one puncture.  This technology will perhaps lower the barrier to marrow donations.
