Product Overview
This Veress needle is a laparoscopic access instrument used to establish pneumoperitoneum before minimally invasive surgery. It creates initial peritoneal entry for insufflation gas, allowing abdominal distension for trocar placement and laparoscopic visualization.
Design and Construction
The instrument has a long, slender stainless steel shaft with a sharp distal needle designed for blind peritoneal access. The proximal hub includes a knurled metal handle and side port assembly for controlled gas insufflation, with a compact grip that supports stable placement during entry. Its rigid construction provides direct tactile feedback during abdominal wall penetration and insufflation. The polished metal finish supports repeated surgical reprocessing and resists corrosion.
Surgical Applications
This needle is used in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hernia repair, gynecologic laparoscopy, and bariatric surgery. It supports creation of pneumoperitoneum in general surgery, gynecology, urology, and other minimally invasive procedures that require abdominal insufflation. The device is also used in diagnostic laparoscopy and other endoscopic abdominal interventions where controlled initial access is required. It is suited to operating room workflows that begin with closed entry techniques.
Sterilization and Maintenance
The instrument supports steam autoclave sterilization and standard hospital reprocessing protocols for reusable surgical instruments. Thorough cleaning of the lumen, hub, and needle shaft is required before sterilization, followed by inspection for obstruction, bending, or tip damage. Drying and routine maintenance preserve smooth gas flow and safe repeated use.
Material and Build Quality
The needle is made from surgical grade stainless steel with a polished corrosion resistant surface. The rigid shaft and machined metal hub provide strength, dimensional stability, and consistent tactile control during insertion. The smooth finish reduces residue retention and supports durable performance through repeated sterilization cycles.
Recommended Settings
This instrument is used in operating rooms, ambulatory surgery centers, and endoscopy suites that perform laparoscopic procedures. It is well suited to general surgery, gynecology, and urology environments where reliable pneumoperitoneum creation is required before trocar insertion. It also fits sterile procedure areas that maintain reusable laparoscopic access instruments.
Summary
This Veress needle provides controlled access for pneumoperitoneum creation in minimally invasive abdominal surgery. It is available through MedPrax Market for surgical and laparoscopic use.
