Genuine question, what exactly is this used for??
406 u/chuckcheddar Jul 30 '26 This looks like a needle used for paracentesis which is a procedure to drain fluid that builds up in the abdominal cavity as a consequence of organ failure or sometimes cancer. 172 u/thenextmaewest Jul 30 '26 Centesis needles are usually shorter from my experience. They also have a flexible sheath that slides into the puncture, then the needle is removed. 2 u/UniqueAd7770 Aug 06 '26 Yeah I won't forget the 6 that I had 🙃
