With the continuous change of global residents' physical fitness, the proportion of obese and large-framed adult patients in clinical diagnosis and treatment is increasing year by year, and the conventional 2.5cm intraosseous needles can no longer meet the puncture depth requirements of such special groups. The 15 gauge, 4.5 cm long-type intraosseous needle launched by professional medical device manufacturers is specially designed for large and obese adults, filling the industry gap of special crowd intraosseous puncture equipment and solving the long-standing clinical pain point of difficult puncture in obese patients.

The core clinical challenge of obese adult intraosseous puncture lies in the excessive thickness of subcutaneous fat layer, which leads to the deepening of the distance from the skin surface to the bone medullary cavity. Conventional 2.5cm needles are too short to penetrate the fat layer and cortical bone smoothly, resulting in shallow puncture, inability to establish effective intraosseous access, and even repeated puncture failure, which not only delays the treatment time of critical patients, but also increases patient trauma and medical risks. The 4.5cm ultra-long needle length is precisely optimized for the anatomical characteristics of obese adults, which can effectively cross the thick subcutaneous fat layer, accurately penetrate the tibial cortical bone, and stably reach the medullary cavity, ensuring one-time successful puncture and efficient completion of infusion and sampling operations.

The long-type intraosseous needle inherits the industry's universal 15G standard needle diameter, realizing high compatibility with clinical operations. Medical staff do not need to change conventional operational habits and matching equipment, which greatly reduces the learning cost and operational error rate. The product is made of high-strength medical stainless steel. Compared with ordinary short needles, the long needle body is optimized in structural toughness, effectively avoiding needle body shaking, bending or fracture during deep puncture, ensuring stable puncture process and high safety. The precise scale design on the needle body helps operators accurately control the puncture depth, avoiding excessive puncture damage to deep tissues.

Clinically, long-type intraosseous needles are mainly used for emergency rescue, critical care and bone marrow examination of severely obese and large-framed adults. It is an indispensable special medical device in tertiary hospitals, emergency centers and special intensive care departments. In the context of refined medical development, the segmented customized design for obese patients has become an important development trend of the intraosseous needle industry. Professional manufacturers rely on precise product research and development capabilities to launch 4.5cm long-type products, realizing full coverage of thin, standard and obese crowds, and further improving the systematic and professional level of the intraosseous needle industry.
