Amniocentesis needles, single-use and sterile, designed for the transabdominal sampling of amniotic fluid, generally between the 15th and 18th week of gestation. Indicated for prenatal diagnosis of genetic abnormalities and for cytogenetic and biochemical examinations of the fetus.

Clinical Features and Benefits

It includes a sliding stop to determine and limit the depth of insertion and a female Luer-Lock connector for the collection of amniotic fluid using a syringe. The color coding facilitates quick identification of the size.

Fields of Use
