The Percutaneous Introducer is intended to allow for the percutaneous placement of devices, needles or probes, in close proximity to nerves and around or into surgical wound or non-surgical wound sites. It may be used to inject or aspirate the introduction area via the luer hub of the needle/introducer.

The Percutaneous Introducer is a single-use, disposable device consisting of a flexible polymer sheath with a molded plastic hub. The device incorporates a stainless steel needle inside the flexible cannula and is removed after the introducer is placed. The inserted stainless steel introducer needle has a sharp distal point. The flexible cannula acts as a conduit for percutaneous introduction of medical devices, such as catheters, needles, or probes. A stylet or porous plug (to prevent aspiration during insertion) comes seated in the standard 6 degree luer fitting of the proximal end of the needle hub. The Percutaneous Introducers are used for a short period of time and are supplied sterile and non-pyrogenic. The Percutaneous Introducer is available in four lengths and a 14 gauge.
