TRACK NEEDLE (JELCO NEEDLE)

The Radial Puncture Needle is an essential device in transradial access procedures. With a fine beveled tip and smooth surface finish, it ensures atraumatic arterial puncture with minimal patient discomfort. This needle serves as the first step in transradial catheterization, allowing interventional cardiologists to gain safe and effective access to the radial artery for procedures such as coronary angiography, angioplasty (PCI), and stent placement.

Why it is used:
✅ To gain initial arterial access in transradial interventions
✅ Minimizes patient trauma and reduces chances of arterial spasm
✅ Provides smooth entry for guidewire insertion before sheath placement

Where it is used:
🔹 Cath Labs – for coronary angiography, angioplasty (PCI), stent procedures
🔹 Cardiac Care Units (CCU) – for arterial monitoring and interventions
🔹 Peripheral Vascular Procedures – where radial artery access is preferred
