Eicken Antrum Trocar Needle luer 3.0mm 10.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides percutaneous access to the maxillary antrum (antrum of Highmore) for diagnostic and therapeutic maneuvers, including aspiration of sinus contents, irrigation, instillation of medications, and collection of specimens. The luer-compatible hub allows direct attachment of syringes for controlled aspiration or irrigation during office‑based or operative procedures performed by otolaryngology, oral and maxillofacial, and dental practitioners.

Design & Configuration

The slender 10.5 cm shaft and 3.0 mm bore balance reach and flow: the length offers sufficient reach from common access points (eg, canine fossa or transoral/transnasal approaches) while maintaining tactile control, and the 3.0 mm diameter supports effective aspiration and irrigation without excessive lumen resistance. The trocar point tip is ground to facilitate atraumatic penetration of soft tissue and entry into the antral cavity. The luer hub provides a secure, syringe‑compatible connection for aspiration, irrigation, or instillation workflows.
