Paracentesis Tray – 18 ga x 4.75 in. (120.65 mm) Caldwell Needle/Cannula, 61448

$418.95

Description

Caldwell Needle/Cannula: The centerpiece of the tray is an 18 G x 4.75" needle. The cannula is specifically designed with four offset distal drainage holes to prevent the bowel or omentum from suctioning against the tip, which ensures a continuous and efficient fluid flow.
Extra Reach: The 4.75-inch length is specifically intended for deeper penetration, making it suitable for bariatric patients or those with significant abdominal wall thickness.
Complete Procedure Tray: This is a "safety" tray, meaning it contains almost everything needed for the procedure from start to finish, reducing the need to pull separate supplies.
Radiopaque Markings: The cannula features burnished measurement markings, allowing the clinician to monitor the depth of insertion accurately under visual or ultrasound guidance.
Clear Proximal Hub: Allows for immediate visualization of fluid (the "flash") as soon as the peritoneal space is entered.

This tray is highly detailed to ensure a sterile and efficient workflow. Key components include:

Drainage Hardware: The 18 G Caldwell Needle, a 3-way stopcock, 8 ft of suction tubing, and a vacuum bottle tubing set.
Anesthesia Supplies: 1% Lidocaine HCI (two 5 ml ampules), safety needles (various gauges for local numbing), and syringes.
Prep & Safety: Povidone-iodine swabsticks, a #11 scalpel for the initial nick, and a fenestrated drape to create a sterile field.
Lab Collection: Three specimen tubes with labels and an EDTA vial for fluid analysis (checking for infection or malignancy).
