Clinical Application
This curved lancet-tip guide needle is intended to provide controlled percutaneous access and to facilitate introduction of guidewires and introducer catheters in procedures that require a 10Fr pathway. The 21 cm shaft length allows access to moderately deep targets while the lancet-style point delivers a sharp, predictable puncture through skin and soft tissue. Typical uses include vascular access and catheter placement, tract establishment for drainage procedures, and other interventional cases where an angled approach improves trajectory and control.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft geometry enables entry at an oblique angle to the target structure, improving ergonomics when straight-line access is impeded by patient anatomy or site positioning. A lancet tip concentrates cutting forces to create a controlled puncture with minimal tissue coring and reduced insertion force. The 21 cm working length provides reach for deeper access while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator; the 10Fr bore size corresponds to commonly used introducer and catheter systems in moderate-bore applications.
