Clinical Application
Designed for dermatologic office procedures, the instrument provides controlled entry of the epidermis to facilitate expression of comedones, milia, and small superficial cysts. It is used to create a small aperture over a lesion so that contents can be expressed with minimal trauma. Typical users include dermatologists, plastic surgeons, estheticians working under medical supervision, and ambulatory surgery centers performing minor skin procedures.
Design & Configuration
The slender, single-ended needle shaft provides high tactile feedback and precise tip placement, allowing the clinician to open comedones with minimal surrounding tissue disruption. The 13 cm overall length affords comfortable handling and reach for work on the face and other body areas. An included protector/cap covers the needle tip during storage and transit, reducing the risk of accidental needlesticks and protecting the tip from damage between uses.
