A NEW GROOVED ASPIRATOR NEEDLE.

A NEW GROOVED ASPIRATOR NEEDLE. In a case of suspected pelvic abscess, I introduced an aspirator needle for diagnostic purposes, and finding pus, I incised the vaginal mucous membrane at the base of the needle with the intention of conducting along the round needle a director, and in the groove of this instrument a narrow scissors with the view of so dilating the opening that I could insert a drainage tube, irrigate and secure drainage.

It occurred to me that an aspirator needle could be made with a groove like a director for use in similar cases, and when the presence of pus or other accumulations are found, that the grooved director needle could be used without removal, to conduct a knife, scissors or other instruments for dilatation, and the introduction of drainage tubes.
