一系列設計用于介入專業(yè)手術新型注射器允許醫(yī)生在用一只手注射和吸取的同時保持針頭穩(wěn)定性。

這些注射器有著廣泛的應用領域，叫做Procedur-10和Procedur-SF，在外科手術中使用交互技術從而允許同時注射和吸取液體或者組織。特殊應用包括影像介導的手術比如活檢和羊膜穿刺術。在臨床試驗中，使用這種注射器減輕了患者疼痛、減少了手術時間而且提高了滿意度。這種系列的注射器是由Wilmer L. Sibbitt醫(yī)生發(fā)明的，他是新墨西哥大學健康科學中心(Albuquerque, USA)內科學教授。

該系列的注射器由Avanca醫(yī)學設備公司(Albuquerque, NM, USA)進行商品化的，該公司從新墨西哥大學的科學與技術公司獲得了與Procedur系列注射器相關的知識產(chǎn)權。

Avanca主席兼首席安全官Sibbitt醫(yī)生說：“介入放射學、婦產(chǎn)科學、產(chǎn)前診斷、麻醉學以及外科學從Procedur產(chǎn)品獲益的產(chǎn)品總數(shù)字是巨大的，預示著廣泛的市場前景。”
 
Specialty Syringes Aid Surgeons
 
A new family of syringes designed for interventional specialty procedures allow doctors to inject and aspirate with one hand while maintaining needle stability.

There are extensive applications for the syringes, called Procedur-10 and Procedur-SF, in surgical procedures using reciprocal technology that allows the injection and withdrawal of fluids or tissues simultaneously. Specific applications include image-guided procedures such as biopsies and amniocentesis. In clinical trials, use of the syringes resulted in less patient pain, reduced procedure time, and improved provider satisfaction. The family of syringes was invented by Wilmer L. Sibbitt, Jr., M.D., professor of internal medicine at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (Albuquerque, USA).

The syringes are being commercialized by Avanca Medical Devices (Albuquerque, NM, USA), which has licensed the intellectual property related to the Procedur family of syringes from the Science and Technology Corp. at the University of New Mexico.

“The total number of products that can benefit from the Procedur devices in interventional radiology, gynecology, prenatal diagnosis, anesthesiology, and surgery is enormous and indicates great market potential,” said Dr. Sibbitt, who is also chairman and CSO of Avanca.
