Description

The NEEDLE SPINAL YALE by BD (Becton Dickinson) is a specialized tool designed for precision in medical procedures such as fine needle aspiration (FNA) of thyroid nodules and lumbar puncture. This spinal needle is crafted for single-use and comes pre-sterilized, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene and safety.

Design and Features

• Quincke Point Bevel: The fine Quincke bevel enhances penetration quality, providing accurate and efficient access to targeted areas.
• Stylet Integration: Each needle is equipped with a stylet to minimize tissue coring, thereby improving sample adequacy and reducing non-diagnostic samples.
• Key/Slot Hub Arrangement: The unique key/slot design of the stylet and cannula hubs ensures correct bevel orientation, enhancing procedural accuracy.
• Translucent Hub: The hub's translucency allows for clear visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), while color-coding aids in easy identification.

Material and Construction

• High-Quality Steel: Constructed from premium steel, the needle offers reliable performance with smooth and regular insertion.
• Silicone-Free: The absence of silicone enhances biological safety and compatibility.
• Plastic Hub: The hub, made from durable plastic, complements the needle's design with either a translucent or color-coded finish.

Size Variability

Available in a range of gauges from 18 G to 27 G and lengths from 38 mm to 178 mm, the needle accommodates various clinical needs. Common sizes include:

• 22 G x 90 mm
• 25 G x 75 mm
• 27 G x 90 mm

Color Coding

The color coding varies by gauge, with options such as:

• 22 G: Black
• 25 G: Orange
• 26 G: Tan
• 27 G: Grey

Packaging

Typically packaged in sets of 10 or 25, with larger cases available, the NEEDLE SPINAL YALE is designed for convenient handling and storage.

Clinical Benefits

The needle's design aims to enhance sample collection while minimizing complications such as hematoma or infection. Its precise alignment between the needle and stylet prevents the biopsy effect, ensuring cleaner and more effective sample retrieval.

Disposal

As a single-use device, it should be disposed of following medical waste protocols after each procedure, maintaining compliance with healthcare standards.

The NEEDLE SPINAL YALE stands out as a reliable instrument in the medical field, offering clarity, precision, and safety for healthcare professionals.
