English translation:Biopty gun

Explanation:
Percutaneous (laparoscopic, fine needle or biopty device) and open surgery are standard kidney biopsy procedures ...
The percutaneous method (through the skin) has three methods, laparoscopy, fine needle or biopty gun device.
Since a gun "shoots" (schiet), the biopty gun which takes kidney samples would seem to be the closest translation available.

Biopty gun

Transcutaneous testis needle biopsy performed with the Biopty gun is safe, rapid and cost-effective. This technique may represent a viable alternative to the open method of testis biopsy.
