When you are considering which Transbronchial Aspiration Needles to purchase, there are several crucial factors to ensure the device meets your needs. Here are the top four:
1. Needle Size and Design: Needle size and design are important factors in determining compatibility with the procedure and your patient’s anatomy – needle gauge, length, and working length are all important. Design features like sheathing (for safe insertion) and positive-stop features (for accurate extension and retraction) are vital to collect precise samples while minimizing patient discomfort following bronchoscopy procedures.
2. Visibility: Transbronchial Aspiration needles must offer excellent visibility under imaging modalities like fluoroscopy. Clear visibility helps with navigation to and precise sampling at the target location, leading to more accurate diagnoses.
3. Sample Quality and Quantity: High-quality samples are vital for confirming diagnoses and guiding appropriate treatment plans. Needles must be able to obtain an adequate tissue sample size while maintaining tissue integrity for analysis. For maximum specimen retrieval, needles should be compatible with a vacuum-locking syringe.
4. Safety and Sterilization: Patient safety is paramount. Your transbronchial aspiration needles must be sterile and come with appropriate single-use packaging to prevent cross-contamination and ensure patient safety.
