CIVCO Offers Additional Gauge Sizes for Ultra-Pro e™ Variable Angle Needle Guide
KALONA, Iowa, USA – CIVCO is introducing 18 and 20 gauge kits for its Ultra Pro e Variable Angle Needle Guide. The Ultra-Pro e is an open-channel needle guide which facilitates the initial needle orientation and advancement. Completely compatible with all CIVCO Ultra-Pro™ style brackets, Ultra-Pro e is designed to increase the productivity and efficiency of ultrasound-guided procedures including tissue biopsy, fluid aspirations and catheter placement. Ultra-Pro e provides an easy-to-use tool to aid in holding the needle in-plane and reduces technique variability, leading to a shorter learning curve for biopsy procedures. The disposable, single-use design provides professionals with the necessary tools for infection prevention.
The Ultra-Pro e guide offers infinite angle capabilities for shallow and deep access. The open channel design of the guide allows instruments to be positioned in the scan plane, providing a safe, efficient means for ultrasound-guided procedures. The system consists of a custom reusable bracket and a disposable snap-on guide. The guide attaches to the custom reusable bracket and currently accepts 14, 16, 18, and 20 gauge instruments. Sterile replacement kits include guide, transducer cover, gel packet and colored elastic bands.
