The SURGINEEDLE™ pneumoperitoneum needle has a spring-loaded, blunt stylet mechanism similar in function to a Veress needle. It is used to establish pneumoperitoneum prior to abdominal endoscopy. The 14 gauge stainless steel needle is attached at its proximal end to a plastic handle. The handle contains flanges for comfortable gripping action, as well as a stopcock and luer lock for inflating the abdominal cavity.
