Frequently asked questions
Is this needle effective across all lung segments?
Yes, the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is designed for optimal specimen collection across virtually every segment of the lung. Its configurable design ensures effectiveness in different areas:
- Stiffer Versions: Recommended for central lesions.
- Flexible Versions: Optimized for peripheral lesions.
- Combined Versions: Suitable for sampling both central and peripheral lesions.
Furthermore, the instrument incorporates clear Teflon catheters, which allow for direct visualization of the aspirate, and features locking mechanisms to maintain needle stability during the sampling procedure.
What quantity of needles is provided per box?
The ConMed WANG Histology Needle is packaged with four (4) disposable needles per box/case.
These instruments are designed for single-use application during transbronchial aspiration procedures.
Does the needle ensure safe scope passage?
Yes, the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is engineered for both safe scope passage and stable specimen collection during transbronchial aspiration procedures.
Key design features include:
- Smooth Hubs and Retractable Needles: These elements ensure a smooth and safe passage through the bronchoscope channel, protecting the instrument and the scope.
- Locking Mechanisms: The integrated locks provide essential needle stability once the sampling position is achieved, aiding in the collection of optimal specimens.
Furthermore, the use of clear Teflon catheters allows the clinician to directly visualize the aspirate, offering enhanced procedural control.
Is this needle suitable for all lung segments?
Yes, the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is designed for high versatility, engineered to facilitate optimal specimen collection across virtually every segment of the lung.
To ensure efficacy across different anatomical regions, the needle is available in specialized configurations:
- Stiffer Version: Optimized for use in central and mediastinal lesions (e.g., Inner- 21 g / Outer- 19 g).
- Flexible Version: Suited specifically for peripheral regions (e.g., 19 g).
- Combined Version: Also available to offer broad application.
Key design features supporting sampling stability and quality include integrated locking mechanisms and clear Teflon catheters that allow for direct visualization of the aspirate during the procedure.
What is the working length?
The working length for the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is 15.7 inches (140 cm). This substantial length is designed to facilitate access to virtually every segment of the lung.
Does this needle offer direct aspirate visualization?
Yes, the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is engineered to allow direct visualization of the collected aspirate.
This crucial feature is made possible by incorporating clear Teflon catheters in the needle’s construction, enabling clinicians to monitor the quality and successful acquisition of the specimen in real-time. This capability significantly enhances confidence during the sampling process.
Does the needle ensure safe scope passage?
Yes, the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is specifically engineered with safety features to ensure safe and smooth passage during transbronchial aspiration procedures.
Safety and stability are prioritized through:
- Smooth Hubs: These facilitate low-friction navigation through the scope’s working channel, minimizing potential scope damage.
- Retractable Needles: The needle tip can be fully retracted, which is crucial for safe maneuvering and protecting the scope lining until the moment of sampling.
- Locking Mechanisms: These ensure the needle remains stable once the ideal sampling position is achieved.
Does this needle offer maximum stability during sampling?
Yes, the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is specifically designed to provide stability during specimen collection.
Key features ensuring stable and secure sampling include:
- Integrated Locking Mechanisms: These mechanisms guarantee the needle remains secure precisely when tissue sampling is required.
- Smooth Design: Features like smooth hubs and retractable needles ensure controlled passage during bronchoscopic procedures, supporting overall stability.
What is the working diameter of the needle?
The working diameter of the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is 1.9 mm.
Does this needle ensure optimal specimen collection?
Yes, the ConMed WANG Histology Needle is engineered for optimal specimen collection and high-quality aspirate yield during transbronchial aspiration procedures.
Key features ensure high-quality sampling across virtually every segment of the lung:
- Aspirate Visualization: Clear Teflon catheters allow clinicians to directly visualize the aspirate in real-time, aiding in procedural confirmation and assessment of specimen quality.
- Enhanced Stability: Integrated locking mechanisms ensure the needle remains stable throughout the critical sampling process.
- Versatile Configurations: The needle is available in specialized versions (stiffer for central lesions, flexible for peripheral lesions) to match the required precision and access for different biopsy sites.
