Eicken Antrum Trocar Needle luer 1.8mm 10.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled percutaneous access to the maxillary antrum for procedures such as antral puncture and lavage, aspiration of retained secretions, collection of cultures, and direct instillation of topical medications. The luer-compatible hub enables straightforward connection to syringes, irrigation lines, or suction tubing, making it suitable for both office-based ENT procedures and operating-room use where minimally invasive access to the sinus is required.

Design & Configuration

The trocar-style sharp tip facilitates predictable penetration of the antral wall with minimal force, while the 1.8 mm shaft diameter minimizes mucosal trauma and bleeding risk. The 10.5 cm working length is selected to reach the maxillary antrum from common external and intraoral approaches without excessive shaft length that can impede control. The luer hub provides a secure, standardized interface for syringes and irrigation or suction connectors, supporting efficient fluid management and specimen recovery during the procedure.
