| Popis: | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical performance of laser-drilled and channel needle swages. The laser-drilled swages have a more uniform circumference that encounters lower drag forces than the channel needle swages. In addition, the length of the laser-drilled hole is shorter than that of the channel needles, allowing the physician to grasp the laser-drilled needle close (3 mm) to the needle end without deformation. These benefits of laser-drilled swages indicate that they should replace all channel needles. |
