UltraVet Echogenic Needles: Veterinary and Research
Veterinary Echogenic Needles for Ultrasound-Guided Procedures
UltraVet Veterinary Echogenic Needles are sterile, single-use needles designed for ultrasound-guided injections, aspirations, and biopsies in small animals, equine, livestock, and research models. Their enhanced visibility helps improve accuracy during targeted procedures.
Why Use Echogenic Needles?
Standard needles can be difficult to visualize on ultrasound, especially at deeper or angled approaches. Echogenic texturing along the distal shaft and tip helps the needle appear brighter and more consistent across a wider range of insertion angles.
- Improved visibility of needle tip and shaft
- More accurate targeting for guided procedures
- Reduced repositioning during injections and aspirations
Ideal for Veterinary and Research Procedures
- Echogenic zones create reliable ultrasound reflection
- Sharp bevel angle ensures smooth entry
- Optimized stiffness for predictable handling
- Low surface drag allows controlled advancement
- Compatible with standard ultrasound machines
Each needle is sterile, single-use, and packaged with veterinary-specific labeling. All needles undergo a validated human-level Ethylene Oxide sterilization process and have a 2-year shelf life.
