Guide Needle Point Ang

Description

Guide Needle Point Ang

The angled guide needle routes a drain from the wound to the skin surface. A sharp point opens the path, and the angled shaft sets the exit site.

Angle versus curve

An angled shaft travels straight, then turns. By comparison, a curved shaft arcs the whole way. Additionally, some surgeons find the angle easier to aim on flat body walls.

Sizes of the angled guide needle

We offer 8, 10, 12, 14, 16 and 18 Fr. Match the French size to the drain diameter. Then the tube slides on and off cleanly.

Where it is used

It suits abdominal, breast and limb drainage. It also helps when a tunnel must run under the skin. Usually the team keeps it beside the curved pattern.

Passing the needle

Hold the hub firmly and push the point out through the skin. Next, attach the drain. Finally, draw the needle through with a steady pull.

Angled guide needle sizes

• 8 to 18 Fr in six steps
• Pointed tip, angled shaft

Reprocessing

Wash and brush the shaft after each case. Rinse, then dry thoroughly. Also, inspect the point and straighten nothing by hand.
