It is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only. ## Device Story The Wilson-Cook Celiac Plexus Neurolysis Needle is a sterile, single-use device designed for endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided procedures. It consists of a stainless steel echogenic pencil-point needle featuring four side openings near the tip, housed within a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) outer sheath. The handle mechanism allows for an approximately 8-cm stroke to advance the needle into the target site. Operated by a physician during endoscopic procedures, the device facilitates the precise delivery of neurolysing agents to the celiac plexus. By enabling targeted chemical neurolysis, the device aims to provide therapeutic relief for patients, typically those suffering from chronic abdominal pain associated with pancreatic conditions. The echogenic design enhances visualization under ultrasound, assisting the clinician in accurate needle placement. ## Clinical Evidence The device underwent simulated use testing and clinical evaluation. Results from these assessments provide reasonable assurance that the device performs in accordance with its intended use. ## Technological Characteristics Stainless steel echogenic pencil-point needle; four side openings at the tip; polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) outer sheath; handle with ~8-cm stroke mechanism; sterile; single-use. ## Regulatory Identification An anesthesia conduction needle is a device used to inject local anesthetics into a patient to provide regional anesthesia. ## Predicate Devices - Wilson-Cook Variable Length GI Injection Needle ([K941305](/device/K941305.md)) - Wilson-Cook Endoscopic Ultrasound Needle ([K934356](/device/K934356.md)) - InjecTx PercuTx- Injection/ Aspiration Needle Probe/Device ([K994151](/device/K994151.md)) ## Submission Summary (Full Text) > This content was OCRed from public FDA records by [Innolitics](https://innolitics.com).
