veress needle Unfortunately, I think the answer is no, there's not Explanation: Veress needle Also known as: Veress-Punktionskanüle (German) Associated persons: Janos Veress Description: A specially designed spring-loaded needle developed by Veress for draining ascites and evacuating fluid and air from the chest. Veress used it more than 2000 times to induce therapeutic pneumothorax in the treatment of patients suffering from tuberculosis. Today it is a familiar instrument to gynaecologists who use it in laparoscopy, a use Veress himself never suggested for this needle. |
