RPD™ Reciprocating Procedure Device
Introducing the RPD™.The World’s First Reciprocating Procedure Device. Designed by Physicians for Physicians. The RPD™ is an ergonomic one-handed procedure device that replaces the traditional syringe for physician-performed procedures.
The advanced biomechanical design of the RPD™ provides:
- Complete one-handed operation [Ref 1-14]
- Outstanding needle control [Ref 1, 4, 11, 13]
- Precise anatomical localization [Ref 1, 4, 11,13]
- Efficient physician-performed procedures [Ref 1-14]
- Outstanding image-guided procedures [Ref 1, 6]
- Outstanding palpation-guided procedures [Ref 2-14]
- One hand, one thumb is all it takes to inject and aspirate.
Benefits of the RPD™
Improved Patient Outcomes
Clinical trials demonstrate that the RPD™ provides better sample quality, larger samples, reduced hemorrhage, and increased safety [Ref 1-14].
Less Patient Pain
Clinical trials have demonstrated that deep needle procedures, biopsy, local anesthesia, intraarticular therapy, and injection/aspiration procedures are significantly less painful for the patient with the RPD™ [Ref 2-14].
Greater Physician Control
The switch from aspiration to injection is as simple as moving the thumb from one plunger to another. By eliminating the need for a second hand or second syringe, you risk less trauma or chance for operator error. Clinical trials have demonstrated consistently improved physician control of needle and syringe with the RPD™ as compared to the conventional syringe with one or two hands; the RPD™ is also superior to the three ring control syringe, syringe pistols, guns and other dedicated procedure syringes [Ref 1, 4, 11, 13].
Greater Time Savings
By combining aspiration and injection in a single unit, you can also save valuable time in critical procedures. This time savings can be a relief for both the patient and physician. Clinical trials have demonstrated reduction in procedure time by 30 to 50%. [Ref 2-5, 7, 8, 10, 12].
