The GRI-Alleset Veress Needle is a disposable, single-use, sterile device intended to be used in minimally-invasive abdominal procedures for the establishment of pneumoperitoneum.

The GRI-Alleset Veress Needle is a disposable, single-use, sterile surgical instrument used during minimally invasive surgery for the establishment of peritoneum of the abdominal cavity prior to abdominal surgery. The device is comprised of a 14 gauge stainless steel needle (120mm and 150mm in length) which is attached to a plastic handle that contains a stopcock with a luer lock connector. The spring-loaded, blunt stylet extends beyond the needle tip and retracts as the needle is pushed through the abdominal tissue; it automatically advances forward once the peritoneum is penetrated. A red safety indicator, attached to the proximal end of the stylet, is exposed above the handle as an indication of an exposed needle tip. The device is provided sterile via ethylene oxide.
