Carefusion FRA2215 - Franseen Needle 22 Gauge x 15 cm, Precision Biopsy and Aspiration, 10/CS
The Carefusion FRA2215 Franseen Needle is a 22-gauge, 15 cm long sterile aspiration and biopsy needle engineered for precision sampling of soft tissues. Featuring a sharp tri-beveled Franseen tip, this needle provides enhanced tissue acquisition and minimal trauma during percutaneous procedures. It is widely used in diagnostic interventions such as fine needle aspiration (FNA), particularly in pulmonology, gastroenterology, and interventional radiology settings.
Designed for single use, the FRA2215 supports safe and consistent performance with excellent control, visibility, and minimal risk of sample fragmentation.
Key Benefits
Franseen Tip Design: Enables high tissue yield with reduced distortion, ideal for histological analysis.
Sterile, Single-Use Safety: Minimizes infection risk and ensures procedural readiness.
Long, Thin Shaft (15 cm): Allows deep or hard-to-reach target access with precision.
Enhanced Control: Provides stable grip and predictable penetration for accurate targeting.
Minimally Invasive: Supports reduced patient discomfort and faster recovery.
