Mick® TP needle Former

“Authentic” Mick TP Needles can now easily overcome Pubic Arch Interference with the Mick Needle Former. Mick TP needles can be inserted into the bending fixture to provide three given “fixed and reproducible” curvatures. A curved needle will allow the physic ian to steer the needle behind the Pubic Arch or into areas otherwise unreachable. To bend the needle, select a needle curvature, insert the needle into the fixture, pull it through and the needle is curved for better maneuverability.
Easy to Use!
The Needle Former can be Autoclaved!

 
Instructions For Use !
Four Easy Steps!
1.
Insert needle into the fixture to desired curvature; small, medium or maximum curve
2.
Retract the obturator until the trocar point disappears within the sheath
3.
Place two fingers on the sheath holding it down and carefully and slowly pull the needle
through the fixture
4.
Push the obturator into its original “forward” position
1.
Inserting the needle into the fixture
 
Carefully and slowly lay the needle between the first pair of parallel pins of the desired curvature. Lay the needle between the second pair of pins and gently bend the needle to fit in between the pins. Continue and bend the needle to fit the third pair of pins. Place index and middle finger on needle as shown and apply sufficient pressure to hold the needle down
2.
Retracting the stylet
 
Very important: Prior to shaping the needle over its entire length it is imperative to retract the stylet far enough back into the sheath until the trocar point disappears. If this step is omitted, the trocar point will get damaged once pulled through the fixtur. Pull the obturator out by approximately 5 mm as shown.
3.
Pulling the needle through the fixture
 
While holding the needle down with the index and middle
finger, grab the needle by the needle sleeve and pull it through the fixture. Pull it in the direction of the curvature. If the curvature of the needle is too little, insert it into the next slot and pull it through again.
4.
Placing the stylet forward
 
Once the needle is curved, the trocar point must be pushed into its original forward position. (No picture shown)
