VascularSono is a vascular puncture needle developed by Pajunk that has outstanding sonographic visibility. The use of ultrasound to position central venous catheters is a proven way of improving patient welfare while reducing the rate of failed puncture attempts1.
The ultrasound waves are very clearly reflected in this procedure both in-plane and out-of-plane by the needle shaft and the tip, even if the insertion angle is steep.2
Echogenic facet tip with two inclination angles improves needle tip visibility under ultrasound
Black marking on the cannula hub makes it easier to check the position of the cannula opening
360° graduations on the first 20mm of the needle
Reliable and optimized needle visualization at any angle4, 5
