101
Q

Herniation

A

To protrude through an abnormal body opening.

102
Q

Tapered Needle

A

This is used for internal incisions. This has a sharp point and flattened body. This needle should not be used to close skin.

103
Q

Cutting Edge Needle

A

This is used for external incisions. This can be used to close tears in skin. There is also a reverse cutting edge needle.

104
Q

Swaged Needle

A

This needle has an eye with a thinner diameter, so less force is required to pull the needle and less trauma is registered on the tissues. Thus these needles are termed atraumatic.

131
Q

Evacuation Interface Device

A

This allows waste gas to flow passively into the device.

132
