Clinical Application
Designed to provide controlled access to the maxillary antrum, this curved trocar needle is used in ENT and oral/maxillofacial procedures for antral puncture, aspiration of secretions or pus, targeted irrigation and delivery of topical therapeutics. The 2.0 mm lumen balances a minimally invasive profile with adequate flow for lavage and sampling, making it suited to both office-based antral lavage and operating-room sinus procedures where a precise, low-trauma entry is required.
Design & Configuration
The curved shaft geometry permits a more favorable approach angle to the antral cavity, improving alignment with the sinus lumen while minimizing soft-tissue retraction. The trocar-style sharp point provides predictable, atraumatic penetration of the anterior antral wall, and the hollow shaft enables aspiration and irrigation through the same instrument. The small-diameter profile reduces tissue displacement while maintaining an internal lumen sufficient for clinical aspiration and lavage tasks.
Instrument Specifications
- Curved trocar needle, 2.0 mm diameter
- Trocar point with hollow shaft for aspiration/irrigation
- Intended for maxillary antrum access, lavage, aspiration and topical delivery
- Reusable, designed for routine surgical reprocessing
Material & Construction
Constructed from surgical-grade stainless steel to provide the rigidity required for controlled entry and the corrosion resistance needed for repeated cleaning and sterilization. The internal lumen is smooth-bored to facilitate aspiration and irrigation and to simplify reprocessing. The instrument is supplied as a reusable device intended for standard hospital or ambulatory surgery reprocessing cycles.
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.
