Clinical Application
This guide needle is intended to provide percutaneous vascular access and serve as the initial conduit for introducing a guidewire during catheter and sheath placement. The lancet-style cutting tip permits controlled, atraumatic entry into vessel walls, while the curved shaft facilitates angulation needed for targeted puncture in peripheral and central vascular access procedures, interventional suites, and select endovascular cases where an 8 Fr access pathway is required.
Design & Configuration
The curved geometry improves approach vector control when accessing vessels that are not aligned with a straight trajectory, enabling operators to achieve a more favorable bevel orientation and needle-bevel-to-vessel angle. The lancet tip reduces the tendency to deflect or coring during entry, providing a crisp, predictable puncture. A 21 cm shaft length offers additional reach for deeper or more distal vascular targets and for use with multi-step introducer/dilator systems sized for 8 Fr access.
Instrument Specifications

Material & Construction
Constructed from medical-grade stainless steel to provide the torsional stiffness and tactile feedback clinicians rely on during percutaneous access. The lancet tip is formed to provide a clean entry profile. The needle is supplied for reuse and is compatible with standard clinical reprocessing and sterilization workflows when processed according to facility protocols.
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.
