Product Introduction
Introducer needle is essential disposable sterile interventional medical device for initial vascular puncture before introducer sheath implantation in cardiovascular and peripheral vascular minimally invasive surgery. All items adopt high-quality stainless steel for needle cannula with straight entry port plastic hub design, available in complete BR-IN series including five specifications with gauge from 17G up to 21G and three standard lengths:3.8cm,6.5cm,7.0cm to satisfy different clinical puncture depth and vessel diameter requirements.
Every finished needle is produced under dust-free clean workshop and processed with EO ethylene oxide sterilization for single clinical use only. As the first step of vascular interventional operation, medical staff use this introducer needle to pierce through skin and arterial wall, then deliver guide wire and introducer sheath inside blood vessel smoothly to build stable working channel for subsequent balloon catheter and stent implantation. The transparent plastic hub enables doctors to observe blood backflow instantly to confirm correct intravascular position after successful puncture.
Core Advantages
First, the stainless steel needle tube owns excellent structural rigidity and outstanding anti-corrosion performance, the needle will not bend or deform during deep tissue penetration, effectively avoiding puncture failure caused by needle bending and lowering operation risk. Meanwhile superior corrosion resistance guarantees stable performance under body fluid environment during whole surgical procedure.
Second, precision polished ultra-sharp bevel tip greatly cuts puncture resistance and piercing force, minimizing tissue trauma and relieving patients’ pain at the moment of skin puncture compared with common blunt needles. Standardized straight entry port hub facilitates smooth guide wire passing without sharp edge scratching guide wire outer surface. Diversified gauge and length options help operators select matched size based on patient’s artery thickness and puncture site (radial/femoral artery), improving clinical matching flexibility greatly.
Application Scenarios
These introducer needles are mainly equipped in cardiac catheterization labs of tertiary hospitals and cardiovascular specialized hospitals, dominantly applied for radial artery or femoral artery pre-sheath puncture in PTCA coronary angiography and coronary stent implantation operations. Besides cardiac intervention, they are also widely used for peripheral vascular puncture in renal artery, lower limb artery minimally invasive dilation treatment.
Global medical distributors purchase full BR-IN specification range for bulk stocking to supply medium community hospitals, private interventional clinics and cardiovascular outpatient centers around the world for daily vascular interventional diagnosis and treatment.

FAQ
Q1: Is introducer needle single disposable only?
All needles are EO sterilized disposable medical devices; repeated reuse is strictly prohibited per international medical regulations to prevent cross infection among patients.
Q2: How to choose gauge and length?
Thick gauge(17/18G, long 6.5/7cm) mostly for thick femoral artery; thin gauge(20/21G, short3.8cm) for thin radial artery routine puncture.
Q3: Do you support OEM customized package for bulk orders?
Custom outer packaging printing is available for large bulk orders, MOQ can be negotiated flexibly.
Q4: What is sterile shelf life?
5 years under cool, dry and sealed storage away from high temperature and sharp scratch damage.
