Carefusion PP176 - Coaxial Introducer Needle 17G x 6cm, Sterile, Precision-Guided Biopsy Access, 10/CS

Carefusion PP176 - Coaxial Introducer Needle 17G x 6cm, Sterile, Precision-Guided Biopsy Access, 10/CS

The Carefusion PP176 Coaxial Introducer Needle (17-gauge x 6cm) is a high-precision, sterile access device designed to provide a stable and secure pathway for core biopsy needles or aspiration tools. Its coaxial configuration enables multiple tissue samples to be obtained through a single puncture site, improving procedural efficiency and minimizing patient trauma.

Engineered with radiopaque markings and a sharp beveled tip, the PP176 is ideal for use under CT, ultrasound, or fluoroscopy guidance. It is designed for single-use in sterile field environments, commonly used in interventional radiology, oncology, and minimally invasive diagnostic procedures.

Key Benefits

• Coaxial Access Design: Enables multiple biopsies from one insertion point, reducing patient discomfort and improving sampling accuracy.

• 17G Diameter with 6cm Length: Provides optimal rigidity and control for superficial and mid-depth lesions.

• Radiopaque Markings: Enhances visibility during imaging-guided insertion.

• Sterile and Single-Use: Eliminates cross-contamination risk and streamlines workflow.

• Beveled Tip: Promotes clean and controlled entry into tissue planes.
