1. What are Franseen Needles?


The Franseen Needle is a medical device designed for tissue puncture and sample collection, primarily used in endoscopic and ultrasound-guided biopsy procedures. Its unique triangular cutting edge design significantly improves the efficiency of cutting tissue, thereby enhancing the acquisition of biopsy samples. This puncture needle is often used in combination with ultrasonic imaging technology, which can improve navigation accuracy during operations. Manners Technology prides itself on manufacturing needle tips with exceptional sharpness, providing reliable precision for the operation of medical devices.

2. Applications


The Franseen Needle is a triangular needle with three cutting edges. Its triangular cutting edge design increases the surface area for tissue cutting, thus improving sample collection efficiency. Additionally, the design of the cutting edge reduces the cross-sectional deformation of the tissue during the puncture process, helping to maintain the integrity of the sample.

The Franseen Needle biopsy is suitable for different types of tissue, making it a versatile needle biopsy instrument. Through endoscope-guided Franseen biopsy needles, doctors can perform punctures on various types of tissue, which is especially suitable for endoscopy in areas such as the gastrointestinal tract. Under ultrasound guidance, the puncture instrument also plays a key role in accurately locating the area where samples need to be collected.


Its sharp needle tip design makes puncture operations more precise and provides high-quality samples for biological tissue sample collection, which is crucial for pathological diagnosis and research. In interventional treatment, Franseen Needles are also indispensable tools and can be used to guide catheters, inject drugs, and perform minimally invasive surgeries. They provide doctors with more flexible operations, facilitating more personalized medical plans.


Furthermore, Franseen puncture needles play a key role in some specialized surgeries, especially in neurosurgery, helping doctors perform precise punctures and operations in high-risk areas, thereby reducing surgical risks. Overall, the applications of Franseen puncture needles are diverse, and their sharpness and maneuverability provide strong support for various medical operations. Manners Technology, with its professional manufacturing techniques and commitment to high-quality medical devices, ensures excellent processing technology for the production of Franseen puncture needles to meet doctors' needs for more efficient sample acquisition during tissue puncture.


3. Manufacturing


The manufacturing process of Franseen Needles typically involves high-precision machining to ensure the precision and sharpness of the cutting edge. Material selection and surface treatment are also key factors in ensuring device quality.


Processed biopsy needles


The first step in processing Franseen Needles is selecting the appropriate material. Commonly used medical-grade stainless steel provides sufficient hardness and corrosion resistance to ensure that the device remains stable during use. Based on the design of the Franseen puncture needle, Manners Technology’s machine operators take into account the accuracy of the triangular cutting edge and the angle of the blade to develop a CAD model. We then use laser cutting or other high-precision cutting processes to shape the material according to the CAD design, ensuring precision and consistency to guarantee the accuracy of the triangular cutting edges.


During the machining process, Manners typically utilizes laser marking, etching, grooving, or other marking techniques to apply identification marks on the surface of the Franseen Needle. For example, the upper part of the needle undergoes a grooving process to enhance its ultrasonic imaging effect. The needle is cut and processed with specialized tools or rollers to create raised and recessed grooves on the surface. These grooves generate stronger signal reflections during ultrasound imaging, thereby improving the clarity and resolution of the image. This enhancement allows doctors to observe tissue structures more clearly during ultrasound-guided procedures. We use these processes to improve the performance of the needles, which is particularly crucial for medical devices requiring precise positioning and operations under ultrasound guidance.


In addition, Manners Technology precisely grinds and polishes the needle tip of each product to achieve ultimate sharpness. This high sharpness allows the product to easily penetrate tissue in medical applications, ensuring the most precise guidance and operation. Our professional team is committed to pursuing excellence in quality, ensuring that each Franseen Needle meets high standards to satisfy our customers’ stringent demands for medical device performance.
