Clinical Application
Provides controlled percutaneous access for guidewire introduction during Seldinger-style procedures. Commonly used for central and peripheral vascular access, catheter exchanges, introducer placement, and interventional access where a 12Fr profile is indicated. The curved geometry aids entry at challenging approach angles and supports accurate guidewire placement in vessels or access tracts at depth.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft allows the operator to align the needle trajectory with vessel course or access windows in confined anatomical spaces, improving entry angle and reducing tissue tenting. The lancet-style bevel produces a sharp, cutting entry that facilitates smooth penetration with clear tactile feedback while minimizing coring. At 21 cm length the needle provides extended reach for deeper access sites without sacrificing control for superficial procedures.
