Ranfac Corp., a Full-Source Medical Device Manufacturer, Introduces a Removable Handle for its Bone Access Needles to Enhance Performance, Accuracy

AVON, MA, June 14, 2012 (Press-News.org) Configured to improve precision and performance during needle positioning and withdrawal, the Removable Handle provides better visibility and accuracy while under fluoroscopic guidance since it eliminates obstructed vision previously caused by the needle's handle.

The technology uses a specially designed "door" on the needle's handle, which may be opened after the needle has been introduced to the body and the stylet has been removed. By opening a "door" on the handle, the handle becomes detachable from the cannula. The handle can be quickly replaced as well by closing the "door". A distinguishable clicking noise will be heard when the "door" is opened and when it is closed.

Ranfac bone access needles are fully customizable and can be ordered in a full range of sizes and with diameters ranging from 8 gauge through 16 gauge with many readily available in stock.

Other available customizations for Ranfac Access Needles include:
- "Snap fit" cannula and stylets are available to work with custom handle configurations.
- Multiple bone penetrating designs are offered, including bevel, spade, and trocar tips to help facilitate cortical penetration.
- Ports can be added on the cannula.
- Ratcheting technology is available
