PAB™

Tumor alcoholization needle

PAB™ is used for the injection of ethyl alcohol directly into the tumour interstice, causing tumour necrosis.

Offset perforations ensure even alcohol diffusion for complete tumour necrosis.
The particular sharpness of the trocar tip improves penetration.
The internal stylet offers rigidity during penetration.
Equipped with a Luer-lock universal connection and a 50 cm extension.
The passage of liquids can be seen through the transparent plastic handle.
Multiple configurations are available: with 3, 5 or 9 holes for tailored diffusion.

Ethanol ablation, also called percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI), is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of tumours and cysts by injecting absolute ethanol (95-99% alcohol) directly into the lesion.

The ethanol induces cell dehydration, coagulative necrosis, and vascular thrombosis, leading to tissue destruction.

Ethanol ablation remains a cost-effective and minimally invasive option in selected cases, especially when other options are not feasible.

Surgical technique:

Identify the precise target area for alcoholization.
Insert the PAB™ needle into the designated site.
Upon reaching the target, remove the stylet and connect the extension.
Using a Luer-lock syringe, inject ethanol gradually.
Once alcoholization is complete, detach the syringe and retract the needle.
