Technology

One delivery system. Multiple devices.

Engineered to improve clinical workflow by facilitating the passage of multiple needles through a single delivery system, without removing the delivery system.

Automated needle shield

  • Designed to cover needle sharp

Proprietary glide ball

  • Allows for interchangeability of all needle sizes through a universal delivery system
  • Start with one needle size and switch to any other size instantly during the same case, while using one universal delivery system
  • Engages automated needle shield during needle removal
  • Centers needle in catheter for consistent needle trajectory

Needle exchange

  • Engineered for multiple needle exchanges throughout the procedure to improve clinical workflow
  • Ergonomic release button designed for fast, efficient removal of needle

Delivery system with PEBAX

  • Maintains flexibility and durability, reducing needle exposure to endoscope channel while remaining in position at point of interest
