The instrument features a straight, trumpet-style tubular shaft that allows a compatible needle to pass through the guide while the clinician maintains control over its direction and advancement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis configuration measures \u003cstrong\u003e5.5 inches (14 cm)\u003c\/strong\u003e in overall length and is manufactured from stainless steel. The Iowa pattern is used in procedures such as transvaginal pudendal nerve block and paracervical anesthesia, where controlled needle guidance and depth management are important.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStraight Trumpet-Style Needle Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instrument uses a long, narrow tubular shaft through which the procedural needle can be introduced. The trumpet-style proximal opening assists with directing the needle into the guide, while the straight shaft maintains a defined path toward the working end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design provides a dedicated mechanical guide rather than requiring the needle to be advanced without a supporting channel. The instrument is supplied as the guide itself; the procedural needle is selected separately according to the clinician's requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBall-Tipped Distal End\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iowa pattern features a \u003cstrong\u003e7 mm ball tip\u003c\/strong\u003e at the distal end. This rounded working profile provides a defined endpoint for positioning the guide during appropriate OB\/GYN procedures. A leading surgical instrument catalog specifies the Iowa Trumpet Needle Guide as a straight 5.5-inch instrument with a 7 mm ball tip. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for Pudendal Block and Paracervical Anesthesia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iowa Trumpet Needle Guide is used in obstetric and gynecological procedures that require controlled transvaginal needle placement. Professional references identify the pattern for \u003cstrong\u003epudendal nerve block\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eparacervical anesthesia\u003c\/strong\u003e. During a pudendal block procedure, the guide provides a controlled route through which the needle is advanced toward the intended anatomical area. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guide also helps limit how far the needle projects beyond the working end, supporting controlled depth during the procedure. It should be used only by appropriately trained healthcare professionals according to established clinical technique and the applicable procedural protocol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStainless Steel Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instrument is manufactured from \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel\u003c\/strong\u003e and is designed as a reusable surgical guide. The verified configuration is listed as autoclavable and sterilizable, allowing it to be incorporated into professional instrument-processing workflows when handled according to the applicable product instructions and healthcare facility protocols. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProfessional OB\/GYN Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Iowa Trumpet Needle Guide is suitable for hospitals, gynecology departments, obstetric units and surgical centers requiring dedicated instrumentation for compatible transvaginal needle-guidance procedures. The 14 cm length and straight trumpet configuration correspond to established Iowa-pattern needle guides used within OB\/GYN instrumentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct Name\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIowa Trumpet Needle Guide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInstrument Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOB\/GYN Needle Guide\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePattern\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIowa Trumpet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5 Inch \/ 14 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStraight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistal Tip\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 mm Ball Tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eReusable\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePrimary Applications\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePudendal Nerve Block and Paracervical Anesthesia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecialty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eObstetrics \u0026amp; Gynecology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePeak Surgicals\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and Handling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClean and process the Iowa Trumpet Needle Guide according to the healthcare facility's validated instrument-processing procedures and current product-specific instructions.
