BD BD #400567 - Angiographic Needle 18 Gauge, 2-3/4 Inch Length, Thin Wall, Without Safety, Sterile, 100/CASE
The BD 400567 Angiographic Needle is a sterile, single-use thin wall needle designed for vascular access and angiographic procedures requiring precision and reliable flow characteristics. With an 18 gauge diameter and a 2-3/4 inch length, this needle is engineered to support deep vessel access and controlled placement during diagnostic and interventional procedures. The thin wall design enhances internal lumen capacity while maintaining external gauge dimensions, supporting efficient fluid aspiration and contrast delivery.
Manufactured to the quality standards of BD, this angiographic needle is designed for dependable performance in demanding clinical environments.
Key Benefits
The thin wall construction increases flow rates without increasing needle size, supporting efficient contrast injection and aspiration. The 18 gauge diameter provides structural strength for vascular access. The 2-3/4 inch length supports access to deeper anatomical structures. Sterile, single-use construction supports infection prevention and procedural consistency. Precision-engineered bevel geometry supports smooth penetration and controlled placement.
Compatibility and Applications
This angiographic needle is compatible with standard luer-lock syringes, contrast media delivery systems, and vascular access equipment. It is widely used in hospitals, interventional radiology suites, cardiac catheterization labs, and surgical centers. Typical applications include angiography, vascular access procedures, guidewire introduction, and contrast injection.
Usage Guidelines
The needle is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals experienced in vascular access and interventional procedures. Inspect packaging prior to use to confirm sterility and integrity. Attach securely to a compatible syringe using aseptic technique. Perform insertion according to institutional protocol and imaging guidance where appropriate. Dispose of the needle immediately after use in an approved sharps container.
Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals
The BD 400567 Angiographic Needle is manufactured under FDA-regulated quality systems and complies with applicable medical device standards for sterile hypodermic and interventional needles. These controls help ensure dimensional accuracy, sterility assurance, and consistent clinical performance.
Comparison with Competitor Products
Compared with standard wall needles, thin wall designs provide improved flow characteristics while maintaining gauge compatibility. While safety-engineered needles are available for certain applications, this configuration is designed for controlled procedural environments where clinicians rely on precision and familiarity. BD needles are widely trusted for manufacturing consistency, sharpness retention, and predictable performance.
Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios
This product is commonly used by interventional radiologists, cardiologists, vascular surgeons, and trained clinical staff. It is particularly effective in angiographic procedures, vascular access cases, and image-guided interventions requiring stable and reliable needle performance.
Best Practices for Use and Maintenance
Store needles in a clean, dry environment and use before the labeled expiration date. Do not reuse. Ensure correct attachment and alignment before insertion. Follow institutional sharps safety protocols and dispose of immediately after single use to minimize exposure risk.
Regulatory and Safety Information
This sterile angiographic needle meets applicable FDA medical device regulations and established healthcare safety standards. Proper training, aseptic technique, and strict sharps disposal procedures are essential to maintaining patient and clinician safety.
