Clinical Application
A full-curved guide needle sized 10 Fr and 15 cm long is designed to establish percutaneous access and introduce guidewires during minimally invasive vascular and interventional procedures. Typical uses include establishing access for catheter placement and exchange, percutaneous drain or catheter insertion, and other over-the-wire techniques where a controlled curvature helps orient the wire into the desired lumen. The 10 Fr dimension corresponds to intermediate-diameter catheter systems commonly used for drainage and certain vascular introducers.
Design & Configuration
The full-curved geometry provides a consistent bend along the shaft that allows clinicians to steeringly orient the needle tip within confined or angulated anatomy. Curvature reduces the need for multiple redirections, improving control when approaching vessels or lumens at oblique angles. A 15 cm working length is sufficient to traverse superficial soft tissue and establish depth to the target while maintaining tactile feedback for depth control.
Instrument Specifications
- Instrument type: Guide needle
- Pattern / model: Full-curved
- Configuration: Curved access needle for over-the-wire use
- Size: 10 Fr
- Length: 15 cm
- Typical use: Percutaneous guidewire introduction for catheter/drain placement and vascular access

Material & Construction
Constructed from precision stainless steel for reliable stiffness and tip control during percutaneous access. The curved shaft is manufactured to maintain shape memory while allowing clinician-directed steering. Surface finishes support smooth guidewire passage and minimize tissue drag.
Quality & Compliance
Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.
