Carr-Locke Injection Needle

The Carr-Locke injection needle has become the everyday endoscopic injection needle of choice for many around the world. The Carr-Locke needle was developed to perform in the most tortuous conditions, including when the endoscope is in retroflexion or the elevator is engaged in a duodenoscope. The patented stainless steel, Teflon-coated spring sheath design helps to ensure consistent needle projection and retraction making it the ideal endoscopic needle for injection therapy.

Clinical Application

The Carr-Locke injection needle can be used for endoscopic injection of various media. Endoscopic injection needles can be used to achieve hemostasis, treat esophageal varices, tattoo and lift polyps prior to polypectomy.

Why the Carr-Locke Injection Needle?

• Stainless steel, Teflon-coated spring sheath is designed to minimize sheath kinking and ensure consistent endoscopic needle projection every time while providing smooth insertion down the endoscope channel
• Luer-lock, spring-loaded handle automatically retracts the injection needle, helping reduce the risk of inadvertent needle sticks and scope damage

• Requires less than 1cc of fluid to prime (most needles require 1.5-2.0cc) potentially providing cost savings
• The ultra-smooth distal metal hub is designed to reduce the risk of the needle perforating the catheter

• Available in 2.5mm diameter with 23- or 25-gauge injection needle for standard or larger working channel endoscopes and 1.8mm for smaller working channel endoscopes
