Puncture needle CUTNEEDLE®

Seldinger

Short description
CUTNEEDLE® is a device for controlled insertion-site enlargement during Seldinger procedures without a scalpel. It combines guidewire passage and gradual subcutaneous dissection to facilitate sheath or catheter introduction while maintaining minimally invasive access.

Application
The Seldinger technique is used for central venous access and endovascular procedures. CUTNEEDLE® is intended to assist trained clinicians in dilating the puncture site to enable smooth introduction of sheaths, catheters or introducers in percutaneous vascular access.

Functions

• Provide a pathway for the guidewire
• Enlarge the insertion site in a gradual, controlled manner
• Dissect subcutaneous tissue as required for device introduction

Key attributes

• Scalpel-free enlargement
• Guidewire-compatible
• Controlled, stepwise dilation
• Minimally invasive approach

Development status
Device under development; intended for clinical use once development and regulatory processes are completed.
