Ochsner Trocar Ø 6.5 mm with Luer Lock Hub (15 cm)
Features and Description:
The Ochsner Trocar is a robust and reliable surgical instrument designed for efficient fluid drainage and cavity access. Because it features a substantial Ø 6.5 mm diameter, this model is particularly effective for evacuating thick or high-volume fluids. Consequently, surgeons can perform rapid decompression or aspiration while maintaining excellent control over the procedure.
Furthermore, the integrated Luer-Lock hub allows for a secure, airtight connection to standard syringes and drainage systems. Therefore, the instrument ensures a sterile and mess-free environment during critical medical interventions.
Key Features
- Integrated Luer-Lock Connection: This universal hub design enables a stable attachment to various medical tubes and syringes. As a result, it prevents leakage and accidental disconnections during high-pressure fluid management.
- Heavy-Duty Ø 6.5 mm Tip: The wide lumen facilitates the passage of larger volumes of fluid. For this reason, it is the preferred choice for treating pleural effusions or abscesses where smaller needles might clog.
- Ergonomic 15 cm (6″) Reach: The length of the instrument provides perfect balance and maneuverability. In addition, the sharpened tip is engineered for smooth, controlled penetration of the chest or abdominal wall.
- Satin Anti-Glare Finish: We manufacture the stainless steel with a matte finish to eliminate distracting reflections from surgical lights. Thus, it ensures a clear view of the puncture site for the surgical team.
- German-Grade Stainless Steel: The instrument consists of premium surgical-grade steel for maximum durability. Moreover, it is fully autoclavable and highly resistant to corrosion from bodily fluids.
