Intro
Coaxial introducer needles
Intro is a coaxial introducer needle used as insertion guide for cannulas, biopsy devices, catheters, breast localization wires, and other devices.
​
The device allows multiple procedures to be executed simultaneously in the patient by leaving the introducer needle in the body while the biopsy needle is unloaded and reloaded.
​
Intro is supplied with a trocar-tipped stylet designed to penetrate tissue with minimal patient pain. The universal luer lock and handle are made with transparent plastic to allow fluid visibility. Centimeter markings and a sliding stopper enhance determination of insertion depth.
​
Coaxial needles have many advantages such as:
-
faster cannula advancement through hard tissues by avoiding friction of parenchymal tissues
-
ability to perform multiple biopsies
-
easier and more precise location of biopsy site due to echogenic markers
​
Optionally, the device can be provided with the NeedleVise® safety device using reference code: PTRxxyy.
