Lucae Paracentesis Needle 18cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide a controlled puncture and access channel for aspiration or decompression, this paracentesis needle is used when precise, low-trauma entry into fluid-filled spaces is required. Typical applications include controlled aspiration of serous fluid collections, minor soft-tissue drainage, and procedures that require a fine, predictable puncture to relieve pressure or obtain samples. Its length and shaft geometry make it suitable for use in ambulatory surgery centers, clinic procedures, and intraoperative settings where dexterity and reach are important.

Design & Configuration

The straight, slender shaft and beveled sharp tip facilitate accurate needle entry with minimal tissue disruption. An 18 cm length provides extended reach for accessing deeper collections or working through small operative fields while maintaining tactile feedback for the operator. The hollow lumen enables efficient aspiration when attached to aspiration devices or syringes, and the rigid construction supports controlled manipulation during insertion and withdrawal.
