Guide Needle cvd Lancet tip 16Fr. 21cm

Clinical Application

This curved guide needle with a lancet tip is designed to establish percutaneous access for the introduction of guidewires and subsequent placement of large-bore catheters or introducer sheaths. The 16Fr bore and 21 cm length accommodate procedures that require a robust access conduit and controlled wire exchange during vascular, interventional, or drainage procedures where larger-diameter devices are used.

Design & Configuration

The curved shaft geometry provides an improved approach angle for accessing vessels or luminal structures at oblique entry points, allowing better alignment of the needle lumen with the target anatomy and facilitating smooth guidewire passage. The lancet tip features a sharp, symmetric cutting profile that reduces insertion force and helps create a clean puncture tract, minimizing tissue coring and improving initial wire capture. Together, the curve and lancet tip support precise percutaneous entry and controlled device exchanges.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Guide needle
• Pattern / model: Curved
• Configuration: Lancet tip
• Size / length: 16Fr; 21 cm
• Typical use: Percutaneous guidewire introduction and large-bore catheter/introducer placement
• Material: Stainless steel construction

Material & Construction

The needle is constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel to provide the rigidity required for controlled puncture and wire guidance. The lancet tip is precision-ground to maintain a sharp cutting edge for consistent penetration performance and predictable tactile feedback during entry.
