SENSE NEEDLE

Sense the difference

Precision and performance in every retrieval

The Sense needle gives you the best of two worlds. The reduced tip in combination with the larger sized body work together in a unique way for the oocyte, the patient and you. You get uncompromised performance and improved patient comfort^1-5.

The Sense needle offers unique performance with its reduced tip for less bleeding and pain, and a larger body for better control and precision^1-5. The features of the Sense needle provides ideal conditions for oocyte retrieval as only the tip is reduced. Rigidity and flow are maintained, ensuring accurate guidance to collect the oocytes. With Sense you’ll keep the benefits of working with a conventional needle and gain the advantages of working with a thin needle.

Designed to deliver

Our needles are designed to optimise aspiration time, control and patient comfort.

Echomarking for perfect control

Created through innovative laser etching, giving you the high visibility you need during oocyte retrieval.

Ultra-sharp design

For low penetration resistance and high precision. The needle tip is providing extraordinary sharpness, high precision and the utmost safety. The bevel grinding ensures low resistance penetration, while distinctive backpoint grinding prevents deviation.

Colour coded peel-off labels

All needle labels are colour coded to simplify identification of needle type. The peel-off labels facilitate patient journal handling.

Double sterile pack to meet surgical standards

Each needle is individually packaged in a double sterile barrier to avoid contamination in the operating theatre.

Reduced needle tip

Reduced needle tip for less bleeding and pain, larger sized body for optimal control, precision and retrieval time.

The Sense family just got bigger

The needle cork is designed to facilitate easier flushing using a single lumen needle. To flush you also need a standard Luer slip syringe.

The bent cannula prevents kinking of the tube.

Industry leading quality. All the way.

To safeguard robust product performance, the Vitrolife quality control system covers both the manufacturing process and the aspiration needles. By ensuring consistently high quality, we help you to maximise your success rate.

Controlled manufacturing

Our manufacturing environment and processes meet the highest standards – to ensure consistently high quality of the final product. All needles are manufactured in a cleanroom where particle levels are thoroughly monitored daily.

Inspection of all needles

An experienced technician performs a microscopical inspection of every needle before release, ensuring the function and performance you expect and securing consistent quality.

Guaranteed sterility

All needles are sterilised using a validated process that is verified regularly to ensure patient safety.

Lot-to-lot consistency

Lot-to-lot consistency is secured by adhering to rigorous validated specifications and protocols. The quality of each lot is certified by a signed protocol to guarantee traceability. All stages of production are controlled, from raw materials to final product.

MEA tested

To detect toxic materials, Vitrolife has developed a highly sensitive 1-cell mouse embryo assay (MEA) that follows the development of single-cell mouse embryos to hatching blastocysts. This assay is far more sensitive than the widely used 2-cell MEA.
