Terumo Medical‘s Interventional Systems unit has released its new Pinnacle Precision vascular access system that features a tapered needle for easier delivery and a new mechanism that eliminates traditional steps involved in enlarging the entry site.
Instead of using a micropuncture kit and then a large introducer sheath, the Pinnacle Precision features TIF (Total Integrated Fit) technology along with the 21 gauge needle to provide reliable access.
