INTRODUCER NEEDLE

• An introducer needle is a medical device, specifically a sharp, hollow needle, used to facilitate the insertion of other instruments, like catheters or guide wires, into a patient's body, particularly into blood vessels or the spinal area. It helps to minimize complications and improve the efficiency of procedures.
• Introducer needles are crucial for accessing blood vessels, especially during procedures like dialysis or when placing catheters. They help guide the insertion of larger catheters or other devices into the vessel.
• They can also be used in spinal procedures, like epidurals or lumbar punctures, to stabilize the spinal needle and prevent bending during insertion. They can also help in positioning the needle for injecting medications or collecting cerebrospinal fluid.
• Used in radiology for procedures like angiograms, where a catheter needs to be inserted into a blood vessel.
• Used to guide the insertion of spinal needles for administering anesthesia or collecting cerebrospinal fluid.
