Clinical Application
This curved guide needle is designed to provide controlled percutaneous access and to facilitate introduction and steering of guidewires and over-the-needle catheters. The geometry and size make it suitable for a range of interventional and surgical workflows where directional control is required for vessel or lumen entry, catheter exchanges, or targeted tissue access.
Design & Configuration
The full curved shaft geometry improves steerability and directional control during insertion, allowing clinicians to orient the needle trajectory with minimal manipulation of surrounding anatomy. The 15 cm working length balances access reach with operator control in confined procedural fields, while the 14 Fr nominal size aligns with common catheter and introducer systems used in interventional suites. The curved profile also promotes smoother tracking when advancing a guidewire or catheter along tortuous paths.

Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel for corrosion resistance and durability through repeated reprocessing cycles. The shaft is finished for smooth tissue passage and to minimize drag when introducing guidewires or catheters. Designed for reuse and compatible with standard hospital sterilization and reprocessing protocols.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
Brand Comparison
