Coaxial needle
Safe & effective needle placement for hard-to-reach targets

Blunt tip:
- Coaxial blunt tip stylet helps reduce the risk of damage to vasculature or other organs
Coaxial biopsy needle:
- Provides the ability to cut through tissue
- Centimeter markings on needle for easy depth evaluation
