Key Features
Locking Handle Mechanism: The handle is designed with a positive-locking mechanism to ensure the needle remains retracted during passage through the endoscope and securely extended during the injection. This protects the endoscope's working channel from accidental needle damage.
Kink-Resistant Catheter: The 2.3 mm catheter body is engineered for high "pushability," allowing it to navigate the tight bends of an endoscope even in challenging anatomical positions.
Transparent Catheter: The clear sheath allows the clinician to visualize the fluid as it is being delivered, ensuring no air bubbles are present and that the medication is flowing correctly.
Stainless Steel Needle: The 23-gauge needle is ultra-sharp for easy penetration of tough or fibrotic tissue, and the 6 mm projection is optimized for reach while minimizing the risk of deep wall perforation.
Universal Luer Connection: The handle features a standard female luer lock, making it compatible with all standard medical syringes.
Medical Description
The 60811 is a critical tool for interventional gastroenterology. It is primarily used for hemostasis (stopping bleeds) and lesion marking.
Common Clinical Use Cases:
Treating Esophageal Varices: Injecting sclerosing agents to shrink enlarged veins.
Managing Peptic Ulcers: Injecting epinephrine to cause vasoconstriction and stop active bleeding.
Tattooing/Marking: Injecting specialized ink (like India ink) to mark the site of a lesion or polyp for future surgical resection.
EMR/ESD Support: Injecting saline or lifting agents into the submucosa to "cushion" a lesion before endoscopic removal.
