Description
Greater Visibility.
• Echogenic tips enable visibility of the needle or stylet on various imaging modalities for easy detection while piercing through liver to portal vein.
• Alignment marker helps identify when the needle/stylet is flush with the end of the stiffening cannula.
• Radiopaque band on the stiffening cannula provides amplified visibility under fluoroscopy to assist with locating and orienting each component.
Improved Durability.
• Needle/stylet catheters are constructed of PEEK material instead of traditional PTFE to reduce the risk of fishmouthing and buckling when advancing through cirrhotic parenchyma.
Unparalleled Steerability.
• Independently steer the curved needle/stylet and the curved stiffening cannula to expertly maneuver through the vasculature and parenchyma and to change trajectory if necessary.
• Directional handles allow precise directional control of the stiffening cannula and needle/stylet to enter the portal vein and change direction when
advancing through the parenchyma.
