Description
Medtronic VersaStep Insufflation/Access Needle
VS150000
The insufflation/access needle used to establish pneumoperitoneum is a 14 gauge stainless steel needle with a hub near the proximal end for interface with the radially expandable sleeve. There is a spring loaded blunt stylet inside the needle and extending beyond the tip of the needle. The stylet retracts as the needle is pushed against tissue and automatically advances after the cavity has been penetrated. A stopcock at the proximal end of the needle controls flow of insufflation gas. The same insufflation/access needle is reusable with additional VersaStep™ Plus radially expandable sleeves for all access ports during one patient procedure (be sure to check needle function between uses).

- FDA Product Code: GCJ
- FDA Product Code Name: Laparoscope, General & Plastic Surgery
- GMDN Term Code: 37151
- GMDN Term Name: Laparoscopic access cannula dilator
- GMDN Term Description: A hollow dilator with a tapered distal end intended to enable the gentle insertion of a larger laparoscopic access cannula, necessary when significantly increasing the working access port's lumen, e.g., from 10 to 20 mm diameter. It is commonly used in minimally-invasive laparoscopic procedures. The dilator is entered over a guide rod, forcing a larger opening as the skin is pressed aside, thereby reducing the possible degree of damage. This is a reusable device.
