Description
The Avanos 60817 (formerly Halyard/Kimberly-Clark) is an Injection Needle Catheter designed for use during endoscopic procedures. Unlike the feeding tubes or spinal trays previously discussed, this is a specialized tool for interventional endoscopy, used to deliver fluids or medications directly into the gastrointestinal tissue.
Key Features
Ultra-Long Catheter: The catheter measures 240 cm in length, making it compatible with a wide range of standard and long-reach endoscopes used in both upper and lower GI procedures.
Precision 23-Gauge Needle: Features a thin 23G needle at the distal tip. This gauge is ideal for penetrating mucosal tissue to perform submucosal injections while minimizing the risk of significant bleeding.
4 mm Needle Extension: The needle is designed to extend 4 mm beyond the catheter tip, providing a consistent and controlled depth for injections.
Ergonomic Handle: Equipped with a thumb-ring handle that allows for one-handed operation, enabling the clinician to extend and retract the needle precisely during the procedure.
Transparent Sheath: The catheter sheath is transparent, allowing the clinician to visualize the movement of fluid (such as saline or epinephrine) as it is being delivered.

Primary Uses
Hemostasis: Used to inject epinephrine or other sclerosing agents directly into or around a bleeding peptic ulcer or esophageal varices to stop active bleeding.
Endoscopic Mucosal Resection (EMR): Used to inject saline (often with a blue dye like methylene blue) into the submucosal layer to "lift" a lesion (such as a polyp) away from the underlying muscle wall before removal.
Tattooing: Employed to inject endoscopic ink (e.g., India ink) into the GI wall to permanently mark the location of a lesion for future surgical resection or follow-up surveillance.
Stricture Dilation Support: Sometimes used to inject steroids into a narrowed area (stricture) of the esophagus or colon to help prevent the area from closing back up after dilation.
