Abrams Plural Biopsy Needle
Abrams Needle is a surgical instrument used for the insertion of chest drains. It is a long, hollow needle with a sharp, pointed end and a plastic sheath that can be removed once the needle has been inserted into the pleural cavity. The needle is inserted through the skin and into the chest cavity, and then a guide wire is passed through the hollow needle and into the pleural space. The needle is then removed, leaving the guide wire in place, which is used to insert the chest drain. Abrams Needle is named after Jules Abrams, an American surgeon who invented the needle in the 1940s.
