The 19G model is the one that pairs with a 0.030 inch cyst guidewire.

An EUS fine needle aspiration (FNA) system with Twist-Lock technology for single-handed needle and tube length adjustment.

In which cases?

  • Pancreatic and submucosal lesions where cytology answers the question and the angle is straightforward.
  • Lymph nodes and mediastinal masses reached from the oesophagus or the stomach.
  • Small or vascular targets, where the unit prefers the 25G needle.
  • Cases where a guidewire may have to be passed through the needle after the puncture.

What makes it different?

  • Twist-Lock handle the tube and needle length are set with one hand, without a screw.
  • A specially treated needle and a coloured plastic sheath, which the manufacturer states improve what is seen under endoscopic imaging.
  • One handle across the three gauges, so a unit that changes needle size does not change its technique.

Frequently asked questions

Which gauge goes with which sheath diameter?

The models table pairs them: the 19G needle is 1.1 mm on a 2.1 mm sheath, and the 22G and the 25G needle are 0.7 and 0.5 mm on a 1.8 mm sheath. The sheath diameter is the one that has to pass the working channel of the echoendoscope.

Can a guidewire be passed through the needle?

The maximum guidewire diameter changes from model to model: up to 0.018 inch on the 22G needle and up to 0.030 inch on the 19G needle, where the recommended wire is a 400 cm nitinol cyst guidewire. The 25G model carries no guidewire figure.
