A stainless steel EBUS-TBNA needle system (endobronchial ultrasound transbronchial needle aspiration) with a Twist-Lock handle for routine mediastinal staging.
SonoTip EBUS Pro is a single-use 22G EBUS-TBNA needle on a stainless steel shaft. It has a Twist-Lock handle and comes with a VacLok syringe of 5 to 20 ml filling volume. It takes samples from mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes under ultrasound.
Both are 22G, 0.7 mm, with a 0 to 4 cm needle length adjustment and a 1.8 mm sheath outer diameter. The difference is the shaft: EBUS Pro has a stainless steel shaft with a round nitinol stylet, ProFlex (also written Pro Flex) has a nitinol shaft. In Türkiye ProFlex is supplied as the Pentax build, and EBUS Pro in both scope builds.
Two numbers are supplied, both stainless steel at 22G and 0.7 mm: GUS-45-18-022 for Olympus BF-UC190F and BF-UC180F and for Fujifilm, with a separately packed Fujifilm adapter, and GUS-41-18-022 for Pentax.
Ultrasound guided fine needle aspiration of submucosal and extraluminal lesions of the tracheobronchial tree and the gastrointestinal tract, for example lymph nodes or abnormal tissue in the mediastinum. No contraindication is specific to the needle itself.
The ERS/ESGE/ESTS 2026 guideline regards 21G and 22G TBNA needles as standard in lung cancer. The CHEST 2024 guideline suggests 21G or 22G over 19G when malignancy is suspected (conditional recommendation). SonoTip EBUS Pro is 22G (0.7 mm). The choice of needle is the physician's decision.
