Guide Needle full cvd 18Fr. 15cm

Clinical Application

A full-curved guide needle sized 18Fr with a 15 cm working length is intended to establish percutaneous access and to facilitate introduction of guidewires, catheters, dilators or drainage devices during minimally invasive and percutaneous procedures. It is commonly used in situations requiring directional control through soft tissue or anatomical curves, including interventional, urology, and general surgery access procedures where a larger-bore access conduit is required.

Design & Configuration

The full-curved geometry provides enhanced directional control when negotiating angulated or tortuous tissue planes compared with a straight profile. The 15 cm length offers sufficient reach for typical percutaneous approaches while maintaining tactile feedback for depth and orientation. The 18Fr configuration is selected to match compatible sheaths, dilators, and catheters, enabling a smooth transition from needle access to over-the-wire device exchange.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Guide needle (full-curved)
• Size: 18Fr
• Length: 15 cm
• Intended use: Percutaneous access and guidewire/catheter facilitation (Seldinger technique)
• Construction: Surgical-grade stainless steel

Material & Construction

Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide rigidity, corrosion resistance, and the dimensional stability required for percutaneous access instruments. The curved profile is formed and finished to maintain consistent lumen geometry and needle integrity during device exchange.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
