An aspirate syringe is a medical device used for aspirating bone marrow. It contains two parts: a main housing 501 and a holder 502 and 523. They are connected by a guide rail 504 or 503 that is positioned on the main housing.
MRI compatible
An MRI compatible aspirate syrint is an MRI-compatible aspirate syringe. The syringe is designed to provide accurate tissue sample extraction for pathological diagnosis. The device is compatible with MRI imaging and has been designed to meet all safety and performance criteria for bone biopsies.
The aspirate syringe has a crown-point tip that facilitates cell extraction during the puncture. The syringe is positioned with an ultrasound transducer. This requires that the examiner be able to guide the syringe with one hand while holding the ultrasonic transducer. A special needle guide is available for the procedure.
Researchers conducted clinical studies on 61 patients, and found that MRI guided needle biopsies were safe and feasible. They reported that all but five patients had sufficient tissue for pathological diagnosis. The procedure took 2.1 passes per patient. The mean time for a fine-needle aspiration was 7.8 minutes and a cutting-needle core biopsy took 10 minutes.
Quick and easy procedure
Aspirating a needle is a simple procedure, but you must ensure proper sanitation. To avoid cross-contamination, you can use alcohol prep pads and sharps containers. To ensure your safety, you should dispose of the used needle after using it. The procedure is quick and easy, and is a vital step prior to any injection.
There are several scenarios in which you might need to use an aspirate syringe. For example, a needle may become stuck in an artery or vein and the injection may fail. In the case of a joint aspiration, an aspirating needle can provide much greater control. It also avoids accidental injection of fluid into a blood vessel or artery, which can lead to a number of dangerous complications.
Once the aspirate syringe has penetrated the skin, hold the barrel with your non-dominant hand. This prevents needle contact and minimizes pain caused by needle movement. During the injection, the non-dominant hand should hold the syringe with its barrel while the dominant hand moves to the plunger end. The syringe should be held between the forefinger and thumb of the non-dominant hand. This avoids the risk of needle movement and contaminating the skin.
Dispensing syringe with one hand
The concept of a one-handed aspirate syringe is known. It is a relatively simple mechanism that enables a patient to dispense the medication in one simple motion. However, dispensed medication can end up in the wrong location if the syringe is not used properly. This can be avoided by ensuring that the right amount of medication is dispensed into the correct vial.
A one-handed aspirate syringe has a thumb-activated plunger. The plunger is positioned in a central passage, and can be operated in an aspiration or injection mode. In either mode, the user advances the thumb toward the gripping fingers, which activates the plunger.
The invention is useful in the field of healthcare. A single-handed aspirate syringe is particularly useful for patients who need a fast, convenient, and accurate injection. The invention also helps to minimize the risk of needle nicks or other injuries.
Procedures for aspirating bone marrow syringe
A bone marrow biopsy is a surgical procedure that involves the use of a syringe to collect a small sample of the patient’s bone marrow. The needle used to collect the sample is made of a special material that allows the physician to draw out bone marrow fluid. This tissue sample can be examined and possibly tested.
When performing a bone marrow aspiration, it is important to use sterile equipment. First, remove the stylet and cap from the needle. Next, aspirate approximately 0.5 to 1 mL of bone marrow with the syringe. The sample is then evaluated by spreading it onto a dish or slide. If the sample contains bone spicules, these will be visible in the sample.
Depending on the type of test needed, a bone marrow biopsy can be performed on 2 to 3 mL of the patient’s bone marrow. A 1.5-mL marrow sample is used for viral cultures, while a smaller volume is used for chromosome studies. The marrow sample should be a minimum of 2 cm long. The stylet should be removed carefully and the specimen should be rotated several times. The needle should then be rocked gently to fully separate from the stylet.
