• What is the Endopath Veress Needle used for?

  The Endopath Veress Needle is designed specifically for creating pneumoperitoneum during minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as laparoscopy. It allows controlled introduction of gas into the peritoneal cavity, which helps distend the abdomen. This improves visualization and access to internal structures, making surgical tasks more precise and efficient.

• Is the Endopath Veress Needle sterile as supplied?

  No, the Endopath Veress Needle is supplied as a single-use, non-sterile instrument. It must be sterilized prior to use in accordance with standard medical device protocols to ensure patient safety and device integrity.

• What types of procedures is this needle intended for?

  This device is intended for use in gastroenterology and urology procedures, particularly those requiring laparoscopy. Its design ensures safe insufflation of gas into the peritoneal cavity, facilitating clearer surgical access.

• How should the Endopath Veress Needle be stored?

  The Endopath Veress Needle must be stored in compliance with standard medical device protocols to maintain its integrity. Since it is non-sterile as supplied, it should be kept in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures until sterilization is performed.

• Is this device reusable or single-use?

  The Endopath Veress Needle is intended for single-use only. After use, it should be discarded, as reuse is not recommended or supported by the manufacturer to ensure patient safety and device performance.
