Key Benefits

  • Complete Procedural Kit: Eliminates component picking by packaging access needles, guidewires, fascial dilators, and PTBD catheters in one sterile tray.
  • Trauma-Free Dilator Transition: Coaxial fascial dilators feature tapered tips to facilitate incremental, low-trauma tract expansion over the guidewire.
  • High-Tensile Access Needle: Chiba/Initial Access needles deliver smooth parenchymal puncture with tactile feedback.
  • Kink-Resistant Guidewires: Includes PTFE-coated J-tip or Nitinol hydrophilic guidewires for navigating past strictures.
  • Workflow Efficiency: Standardized kit design shortens preparation time in acute biliary obstruction and sepsis emergencies.
