The Iowa Trumpet Needle Guide is a specialized OB/GYN surgical instrument designed to provide a controlled pathway for needle placement during appropriate gynecological and obstetric procedures. 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.
This configuration measures 5.5 inches (14 cm) 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.
The 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.
This 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.
The Iowa pattern features a 7 mm ball tip 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.
The Iowa Trumpet Needle Guide is used in obstetric and gynecological procedures that require controlled transvaginal needle placement. Professional references identify the pattern for pudendal nerve block and paracervical anesthesia. During a pudendal block procedure, the guide provides a controlled route through which the needle is advanced toward the intended anatomical area.
The 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.
The instrument is manufactured from stainless steel 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.
The 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.
