The handling and reliability of a new disposable biopsy set (Hepafix) have been evaluated in 170 percutaneous liver biopsies according to the technique of Menghini. In comparison with the conventional multiple biopsy set the new set provides several advantages discussed in the paper. The wider use of the disposable liver biopsy set may contribute to the prevention of transmission of hepatitis.
