Carefusion CHI226 - Chiba Needle 22G x 6CM, Sterile, Single-Use, Precision Biopsy, 10/CS

The Carefusion CHI226 Chiba Needle is a precision-engineered 22-gauge needle designed for soft tissue biopsy procedures and interventional radiology. Measuring 6 centimeters in length, this sterile, single-use needle is constructed with a fine, flexible shaft that facilitates accurate targeting of deep or delicate structures. Its echogenic tip enhances visibility under imaging guidance, making it an ideal tool for minimally invasive procedures where precision is critical.

This product is commonly used in diagnostic and therapeutic applications such as aspiration cytology, fluid drainage, or injection of contrast media. Its ergonomic hub ensures controlled handling, while the slim profile minimizes patient discomfort during insertion. Each needle is individually packaged to maintain sterility and support infection control protocols.
