SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION

摘要

A system and method for fine needle aspiration includes a plurality of components. A device includes a body unit, a trigger unit, and at least one gear. The body unit is configured to hold a syringe, and the trigger unit is configured to laterally move relative to the body unit in order to extend and retract a plunger within the syringe. The at least one gear is configured to engage the syringe so that lateral movement of the trigger unit causes rotation of the syringe. A needle includes a distal tip with a vertical edge extending from a distal end to a proximal end, and a curved edge running from the distal end to the proximal end. A syringe kit includes a stylet connected to the plunger. The stylet includes an outer diameter equal to an inner diameter of the needle.

1. A device configured for use with a syringe including a plunger and a needle for fine needle aspiration, the device comprising:
a body unit configured to hold the syringe; a trigger unit configured to engage the plunger and to laterally move relative to the body unit to extend and retract the plunger within the syringe; and at least one gear configured to engage the trigger unit and rotate in response to lateral movement of the trigger unit, the at least one gear configured to engage the syringe to cause rotation of the syringe responsive to lateral movement of the trigger unit.
