Product Details
The Expect Slimline (SL) Needle is an EUS-FNA needle that is indicated for four diagnostic and therapeutic indications, providing physicians with clinical options to manage their patients.
The Expect Slimline (SL) Needle is designed to sample targeted submucosal and extramural gastrointestinal lesions through the accessory channel of a curvilinear echoendoscope. It can also be used for the delivery of injectable materials (fluids) or fiducials into tissue or for passage of accessory devices.
Compatible with New Fiducial Markers: The Expect Slimline (SL) 22ga EUS Needle is compatible with the new LumiCoilTM Platinum Fiducial Markers, which feature platinum construction designed for clear visibility in CT, X-Ray, EUS, CBCT, and MRI procedures.* Two loading options are available for the straight marker configuration based on preference; through the needle tip or through the needle’s luer**.
Sharp needle grind2: For precise targeting and sampling
Cobalt-Chromium construction3: Cobalt Chromium as compared to Stainless Steel provides distinct benefits in shape set, column strength, and tensile strength. These properties may provide certain advantages, particularly when sampling difficult target sites:
1) Higher resistance to deformation which may aid physician control
2) Higher column strength for navigation to sample site
3) A harder material to retain sharpness for performance over multiple passes
Echogenic pattern extends onto needle tip4,5:
- Provides precise guidance within the target site
- Helps maintain tip visibility
Stylet cap with integrated clip
- Keeps stylet safely contained6
Custom sheath sizes
- Designed to improve passability7
The Expect Slimline (SL) 19ga Flexible EUS-FNA Needle is compatible with the Mauna Kea Technologies Cellvizio AQ-Flex™ 19 Confocal Miniprobes™ accessory device to perform optical biopsy procedures. Learn more about Cellvizio.1
