Description
The Avanos 60818 is an Endoscopic Injection Needle used for precision fluid delivery during gastrointestinal procedures. It is the finer-gauge counterpart to the 60817, offering a smaller needle diameter for more delicate mucosal work.
Key Features
Ultra-Thin 25-Gauge Needle: The 25G needle is significantly thinner than the standard 23G version. This reduces the size of the puncture site, which is beneficial when working with highly vascular tissue or in pediatric endoscopy to minimize the risk of post-procedural bleeding.
Controlled 4 mm Extension: The needle extends exactly 4 mm from the sheath. This fixed depth ensures that injections are delivered consistently into the submucosal layer, preventing accidental deep penetration into the muscularis propria (the muscle wall of the GI tract).
240 cm Catheter Length: The extra-long catheter is designed to pass through the working channel of standard and therapeutic endoscopes, reaching the far ends of the colon or the upper GI tract with ease.
Kink-Resistant Sheath: The 2.5 mm diameter sheath is designed to remain flexible yet resistant to kinking, ensuring smooth needle deployment even when the endoscope is in a retroflexed (tightly curved) position.
Safety Lock Handle: Features a spring-loaded handle with a locking mechanism to prevent the needle from accidentally extending while being advanced through the endoscope’s working channel, protecting the scope's internal lining.

Primary Uses
Submucosal Lifting for EMR: Used to inject saline or viscous lifting agents under a flat polyp or early-stage lesion. This "lift" creates a safety cushion, allowing the clinician to remove the lesion with a snare while protecting the deeper layers of the bowel wall.
Epinephrine Injection: Used in the management of non-variceal upper GI bleeding to induce vasoconstriction around a bleeding vessel.
Fine-Point Tattooing: Ideal for precisely marking the location of a lesion for surgical follow-up using specialized medical ink.
Sclerotherapy: Used to inject sclerosing agents into small esophageal varices to cause them to shrink and close.
