Intended Use

The Disposable Veress Needles are intended for percutaneous insertion into the peritoneal cavity for the purpose of insufflation with carbon dioxide to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to the placement of trocars during laparoscopic procedures.

Device Story

Disposable Veress Needles facilitate laparoscopic surgery by establishing pneumoperitoneum. Device consists of a needle, inner core, handle, and valve; Model II includes a silicone sleeve on the handle. Operated by physicians in clinical settings; device connects to an external insufflator via tubing. The needle is inserted percutaneously into the peritoneal cavity; carbon dioxide is delivered through the needle to inflate the cavity. This process creates the necessary space for subsequent trocar placement. The device is single-use, EO-sterilized, and constructed from medical-grade stainless steel, PC, PE, and ABS.

Clinical Evidence

Bench testing only. Performance testing included tip pull, switch operation, spring obturator operation, and needle puncture force tests. Biocompatibility testing conducted per ISO 10993-1 (cytotoxicity, sensitization, intracutaneous reactivity, systemic toxicity, pyrogenicity). Sterilization validated per ISO 11135; shelf-life validated per ASTM F1980-21; packaging integrity validated per ASTM D4169, F1886, F88, and F1929.

Technological Characteristics

Materials: Stainless steel needle, PC/ABS handle, PE components, silicone sleeve (Model II). Principle: Mechanical percutaneous insertion and gas insufflation. Connectivity: Tubing connection to external insufflator. Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EO). Dimensions: 110mm to 150mm lengths (±4mm). Single-use, sterile, class II device.

Indications for Use

Indicated for patients undergoing laparoscopic procedures requiring percutaneous insertion into the peritoneal cavity for carbon dioxide insufflation to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to trocar placement.

Regulatory Classification

Identification

A laparoscopic insufflator is a device used to facilitate the use of the laparoscope by filling the peritoneal cavity with gas to distend it.
