An abdominal paracentesis needle is a sterile, single-use instrument designed for removing fluid or air from the abdominal cavity. Clinically, it’s used to drain excess ascites (fluid buildup) for diagnostic testing or therapeutic relief, often as part of a paracentesis procedure.
These devices are typically regulated as single-use medical instruments, requiring adherence to sterilization and disposal standards. They’re supplied pre-sterilized and intended for one-time use only, with variations in design (e.g., stopcock attachment) to control fluid flow during procedures.
