Product facts and notices

Advantages

  • With flushing, a better harvesting of oocytes is ensured especially with oligo-follicular ovaries. The single-lumen FAS with flushing connector developed in cooperation of GYNEMED and the manufacturer Gynetics satisfies these higher requirements
  • The FAS has got a very sharp, lanceaolate sharpened needle-tip, facilitating a precise puncturing or cutting.
  • The echoic needle-tip is produced with a new technique by use of a laser. The tip provides a steady and excellent visibility within the picture of the ultrasound.
  • Different dimensions of the needle concerning length, outer and inner diameter allow it to individually adept them to diagnostical and therapeutical goals.
  • Translucent tubings having the same inner diameter as the needle ensure a reliable and unobstructed flow of the oocytes.
  • The position of the flushing connector in relation to the longitudinal direction shows the physician the position of the opening of the sharpened tip of the needle during puncturing.
  • On request we enclose sterile ultrasound-covers for transducers. These FAS are labelled with an additional “-U” after the order number.
