Frequently asked questions
Are these high-precision EMG needles?
Yes, the TECA Elite Disposable Concentric Needles are engineered for high-precision signal acquisition in Electromyography (EMG) and nerve potential recording.
Their superior accuracy and reliability are achieved through key engineering features:
- Tungsten Core: Features a Tungsten core specifically designed for reliable and accurate signal detection.
- Exceptional Concentricity: They boast 99.9% concentricity and consistently low impedances, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity.
- Advanced Tip Design: The ultra-sharp 3-point pyramidal exposed tip (with a trocar point and a 15° tip angle) is engineered for quick, trouble-free penetration while facilitating precise adjustments.
- Durable Construction: Utilizes a coated stainless steel cannula for optimal strength and flexibility during procedures.
What high-quality materials are used?
The TECA Elite needles are manufactured using premium materials selected for precision, durability, and optimal signal detection:
- Tungsten Core: The internal recording element features a Tungsten core, guaranteeing highly reliable signal detection with consistently low impedances and exceptional 99.9% concentricity.
- Coated Stainless Steel Cannula: The cannula is constructed from robust Stainless Steel and coated with Silicone. This combination provides the strength necessary for rapid entry while offering the flexibility required for precise adjustments.
- Durable Hub: The ergonomically designed, color-coded hub is made from Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) and utilizes Brass and Copper/Nickel plating internally for a reliable, orientation-free connection.
Are these high-quality EMG needles latex-free?
Yes, the TECA Elite Disposable Concentric Needles are latex-free, making them safe for patients with latex sensitivities.
These needles prioritize sterility and convenience for electrodiagnostic procedures:
- They are supplied individually packaged in sealed pouches.
- Sterilization is performed using gamma irradiation.
- They are strictly intended for single-use applications.
Are the TECA Elite needles safely pre-sterilized?
Yes, the TECA Elite Disposable Concentric Needles are strictly designed for single-use and come pre-sterilized to ensure patient safety and hygiene. They are also latex-free.
- Sterilization Method: The needles are sterilized using Gamma Irradiation.
- Packaging: Each needle is individually packaged in a sealed Tyvek/EVA pouch, guaranteeing sterility and maintaining the 3-year shelf life until the time of use.
How do the color-coded hubs help identify size?
The color-coded hubs are a key feature designed for rapid and accurate identification of the needle’s specific configuration (length and gauge) during clinical procedures, helping to streamline your workflow. The available configurations are mapped as follows:
| Hub Color | Length | Gauge |
|---|---|---|
| Red | 1” (25 mm) | 30 Gauge |
| Yellow | 1” (25 mm) | 26 Gauge |
| Green | 1.5” (37 mm) | 26 Gauge |
| Blue | 2” (50 mm) | 26 Gauge |
| Violet | 3” (75 mm) | 23 Gauge |
In addition to color coding, the ergonomic hub design enhances operational efficiency by including an orientation-free connection, a security clip, and a recording area direction indicator.
How many needles are included per box?
Each box contains 25 TECA Elite Disposable Concentric Needles.
These needles are supplied individually packaged in sealed pouches and are pre-sterilized using Gamma Irradiation. They are strictly designed for single-use applications to ensure safety and sterility during EMG and nerve potential signal recording.
Is the concentric cable included?
No, the concentric cable is not included with the TECA Elite Disposable Concentric Needles.
The box contains 25 individually pouched and sterilized needles only. A separate concentric cable is required for connecting the needles to EMG and nerve potential recording equipment.
What is the shelf life of these disposable needles?
The TECA Elite Disposable Concentric Needles have a shelf life of 3 years.
Their sterility is maintained for this entire period because they are:
- Individually packaged in sealed pouches.
- Pre-sterilized using Gamma Irradiation.
What premium features ensure easy penetration?
The TECA Elite needles are specifically engineered for trouble-free penetration and enhanced patient comfort, achieved through several key design features:
- Advanced Tip Geometry: The needles feature a cutting-edge, ultra-sharp 3-point pyramidal exposed tip. This design utilizes a Trocar point with a 15° tip angle, which facilitates smoother, easier penetration compared to traditional conical tips.
- Optimized Cannula Construction: The cannula is made from strong stainless steel, which is coated with silicone. This combination provides the necessary strength for rapid tissue entry while the silicone coating aids in seamless passage and flexibility for clinical adjustments.
Are these needles highly accurate for signal detection?
Yes, the TECA Elite Disposable Concentric Needles are engineered for highly reliable and accurate detection of biopotential, EMG, and nerve potential signals. Their precision is guaranteed by several key specifications:
- Tungsten Core: They feature an internal Tungsten core, which assures reliable and accurate signal capture.
- 99.9% Concentricity: The manufacturing process guarantees 99.9% concentricity, minimizing noise and ensuring optimal signal fidelity.
- Low Impedances: The needles provide consistently low impedances, which is critical for maintaining high-quality recordings.
