Guide Needle Arrow Point Ang

Description

Guide Needle Arrow Point Ang

The arrow point guide needle has a flattened, arrow-shaped tip. That tip cuts a neat slit as it exits the skin, so the drain passes without dragging.

What the arrow point adds

A round point stretches tissue as it passes. In contrast, the arrow tip slices a small opening. As a result, the exit wound stays tidy and close around the tube.

Sizes of the arrow point guide needle

Choose 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 or 18 Fr. In addition, each size matches drains of the same French gauge. Therefore, order the guides that pair with your drain stock.

Where it is used

General and plastic surgeons use it to bring drains out through the skin. It also helps with thicker body walls. Many keep it next to the round-point guides.

Technique

Pass from inside the wound and aim for the planned exit. Then load the drain onto the hub. Afterwards, pull through smoothly in one motion.

Keeping the tip sharp

Clean and dry the needle after use. Protect the arrow tip with a cap in storage. Then check the edges before the next case.
