CHIBA NEEDLE

• A Chiba needle is a type of hollow needle with a beveled tip, commonly used in medical procedures for aspiration, biopsy, and percutaneous access. It's particularly useful for reaching deep-seated tissues and is often employed under imaging guidance like ultrasound or fluoroscopy.
• The angled tip provides superior steering and allows for easier penetration of tissues compared to trocar needles.
• Chiba needles are used to aspirate fluids or obtain tissue samples for cytological or histological analysis.
• They are frequently used to gain access to various body cavities and structures, such as the biliary tree or pelvicalyceal system of the kidney.
• Chiba needles are a cornerstone in interventional radiology procedures.
• Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB): Used for obtaining cells from suspected tumors or lesions.
• Percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC): Used to visualize the bile ducts.
• Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN): Used to create a drainage pathway for the kidney.
• Thoracentesis, paracentesis, pericardiocentesis: Used to drain fluid from the pleural, abdominal, and pericardial cavities, respectively.
• Local anesthesia administration: Some Chiba needles are designed for delivering local anesthetics.
