Summary

This study tested a powered bone marrow aspiration device against the standard manual device in 15 healthy adults. Each volunteer received both procedures on opposite sides of the pelvis. Researchers measured pain, time to get a sample, and the quality of the bone marrow specimen. The goal was to see if the powered device could improve the experience and sample quality.
