Scorpion®
Unparalleled Steerability Scorpion® and Scorpion®X offer unique ability to navigate tortuous liver anatomy with 360-degree range of motion. Scorpion® Portal Vein Access Series's directional handles allow precise directional control of the stiffening cannula and needle/stylet to enter the portal vein and change direction when advancing through the parenchyma. Independently steer the curved needle/stylet and the curved stiffening cannula to expertly maneuver through the vasculature and parenchyma and to change trajectory if necessary.
Greater Procedure Visibility
Scorpion® and Scorpion®X are designed to significantly improve the visibility of components during fluoroscopy and ultrasound imaging.
- Alignment marker to help identify when the needle/stylet is flush with the end of the PEEK needle/stylet catheter and the stiffening cannula (if applicable).
- Echogenic tips enable visualization of the needle or stylet on various imaging modalities, facilitating easy detection while piercing through the liver to the portal vein.
- Radiopaque band on the stiffening cannula provides amplified visibility under fluoroscopy to assist with locating and orienting each component.
Improved Durability
The Scorpion® Portal Vein Access Series includes durable components helpful when piercing through the parenchyma and advancing through to the portal vein.
- Needle/stylet catheters are constructed of PEEK material instead of traditional PTFE to reduce the risk of fishmouthing and component buckling when advancing through cirrhotic parenchyma.
Versatile Options
Scorpion® Portal Vein Access Series is available in stylet and needle offerings to meet physician preference.
- Scorpion® is available as a .040” curved nitinol stylet
- Scorpion®X is available as a 17Ga curved nitinol needle
