Ultra-Pro II™ In-Plane Ultrasound Needle Guides-Single-Angle
Needle Guidance System utilizes a two-part system consisting of custom reusable bracket and the disposable snap-on needle guide called Ultra-Pro II. Single-angle brackets offer imaging professionals a fixed angle needle path during puncture procedures.
Needle Guidance System utilizes a two-part system consisting of custom reusable bracket and the disposable snap-on needle guide called Ultra-Pro II. Single-angle brackets offer imaging professionals a fixed angle needle path during puncture procedures. The Ultra-Pro II needle guide incorporates flexibility and advanced features to increase productivity during ultrasound-guided procedures. The Ultra-Pro II guide features a large tab for improving quick-release function, allowing easy detachment of the needle from the transducer. Easy-to-read gauge sizes on the inserts make it simple to identify and alter gauge size in a darkened ultrasound suite. The guide features a large funnel for instrument insertion and will accept a range of sizes including: 8.5FR, 14-23GA (19 GA not available). Brackets should be cleaned and disinfected according to your User's Guide.

Clinical Benefits
Ultra-Pro II™ Needle Guide
Accurate instrument placement with reduced procedure time resulting in adequate yield for pathology.
- Increased clinical confidence with improved needle visualization during real-time imaging1,2
- Improves needle visualization within the tissue which increases patient safety5
- Reduced procedure time from a guided biopsy will correlate with reduced needle manipulation and hence less tissue trauma and less patient discomfort.2
- Improved time efficiency by increasing needle visualization and reducing number of needle passes.2,3, 5,6
- Efficient and reproducible biopsy technique compared to freehand, ensures confident outcomes.2
- Decreases the number of passes required for adequate tissue yield and lowers the risk of developing major complications by 305% compared to freehand during renal biopsy.3
- Improve patient safety and comfort during peripheral nerve blocks.4
