Introducer Needles

Clinical Application

Introducer needles are used to obtain initial percutaneous vascular access during diagnostic and interventional procedures.

They enable controlled vessel entry and facilitate guidewire placement at the first stage of catheter-based interventions. Accuracy of puncture, tactile feedback, and dimensional consistency directly influence downstream device positioning and procedural efficiency.

These needles are used across:

• Interventional cardiology
• Peripheral vascular procedures
• Structural heart interventions
• Critical care access

Design and Performance

ALSPL introducer needles are designed for predictable vessel entry and smooth guidewire transition.

Key characteristics include:

• Stainless steel cannula construction
• Precisely formed bevel geometry
• Balanced wall thickness for strength and tactile response
• Smooth surface finish to reduce tissue trauma
• Stable hub interface for guidewire introduction

Hub orientation provides a clear visual reference for bevel alignment during puncture.

Dimensions are controlled to ensure compatibility with commonly used guidewire systems.

Standard Configurations

Introducer needles are available in standard gauge and length combinations aligned with interventional access workflows.

Detailed dimensional specifications and catalogue references are provided in the product brochure.

Customisation

Custom introducer needle programs are supported where clinical or program requirements differ from standard configurations.

Customisation options may include:

• Alternative gauge and length combinations
• Modified hub designs or interface geometries
• Y-hub or side port variations
• Safety needle configurations with protective mechanisms
• Plastic introducer variants similar to IV cannula-style access devices
• Integration into procedure-specific kits
• OEM and private label supply

Custom designs are evaluated for performance, handling, and compatibility within the intended access system.
