Rudra Surgicals : A Laparoscopic Veress Needle (10mm) is a specialized surgical instrument used in minimally invasive procedures to establish pneumoperitoneum, the first step in most laparoscopic surgeries.
Specifications and Features
Diameter:
10mm: Larger diameter for procedures requiring a robust and stable pneumoperitoneum setup.
Length:
Typically 10–15cm, suitable for abdominal entry in various patient anatomies.
Material:
Made of medical-grade stainless steel for durability, corrosion resistance, and easy sterilization.
Tip Design:
Spring-Loaded, Blunt Stylet:
The sharp outer needle penetrates the abdominal wall.
The blunt stylet retracts automatically to prevent injury to underlying organs once the needle enters the peritoneal cavity.
Insufflation Port:
Integrated port allows connection to a CO? insufflator for controlled gas delivery.
Markings:
Depth markers on the needle shaft assist in gauging insertion depth for precision.
Applications
Pneumoperitoneum Creation:
Establishes the initial insufflation of CO? gas to lift the abdominal wall away from underlying organs, creating space for laparoscopic instruments.
Procedures:
General surgery (e.g., cholecystectomy).
Gynecological procedures (e.g., tubal ligation, hysterectomy).
Urological procedures (e.g., nephrectomy).
Advantages
Safety:
The spring-loaded blunt stylet reduces the risk of accidental injury to internal organs.
Precision:
Depth markers aid in accurate placement.
Durability:
High-quality material ensures consistent performance across multiple uses.
Versatility:
Compatible with standard laparoscopic insufflators.
Considerations
Size Selection:
While 10mm needles are suitable for certain procedures, smaller sizes (e.g., 5mm or 2.1mm) may be more appropriate for other cases.
Technique:
Proper insertion technique is critical to avoid complications such as organ injury or vascular puncture.
Sterilization:
Ensure thorough sterilization (typically autoclaving) before each use to maintain sterility and patient safety.
