Product overviewCUTNEEDLE® is a next-generation needle designed to enlarge the insertion site during Seldinger procedures without requiring a scalpel. The device eliminates a separate enlargement step while adding safety, simplicity and precision to the workflow. It facilitates introduction of sheaths or catheters for central line and endovascular access by providing scalpel-free access and a controlled pathway for the guidewire.
Key functions- Precisely enlarge the puncture/insertion site
- Dissect subcutaneous tissue as required to facilitate device introduction
- Allow gradual, controlled enlargement to accommodate sheath or catheter
Features / Benefits- Scalpel-free insertion-site enlargement
- Controlled and progressive tissue dissection
- Maintains pathway for guidewire and device introduction
- Designed for minimally invasive access during Seldinger procedures
Development statusProduct is currently in development and not yet cleared by regulatory authorities.
