- Primarily used by clinicians to gain vascular access for the placement of a guidewire during medical procedures
Uses
- Vascular Access:
- Specifically designed to facilitate the introduction of a guidewire into the vasculature
- Guidewire Placement:
- Acts as the entry point for interventional procedures requiring guidewire guidance
Features
- Safety Clip Mechanism:
- Features a patented, manually activated safety clip that shields the needle tip after use to reduce needlestick injuries
- Transparent Hub:
- Designed for clear visualization of "flashback" to confirm successful vessel entry
- Echogenic Tip:
- The needle tip is enhanced for high visibility under ultrasound, aiding precise placement
- Universal Bevel:
- Optimized for smooth access with minimal resistance and a wider choice of insertion angles
- Funneled Hub:
- Engineered to allow for smooth and easy guidewire introduction
- Eco-Friendly Materials:
- Manufactured without PVC, DEHP, or Latex
Benefits
- Enhanced Safety:
- The safety clip helps clinicians comply with OSHA standards by minimizing accidental needlestick exposure
- Improved Accuracy:
- Ultrasound-ready tips and flashback visualization increase the likelihood of "first-stick success," reducing patient discomfort and procedure time
- Clinical Control:
- The manual activation of the safety clip allows the clinician to redirect the needle if needed before permanently shielding it
- Patient Comfort:
- A sharp, lubricated needle tip reduces insertion resistance, leading to less tissue tearing and trauma
- Sustainability:
- Its compact, low-profile design reduces overall medical waste and disposal costs
