ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a medical cannula or amniocentesis needle of improved sonographic visibility. The invention comprises a needle or cannula having one or more sounding apertures formed therein. The diameter of each sounding aperture is substantially equal to a predetermined wavelength of an incident ultrasonic beam. As a result, the beam will diffract upon striking the sounding aperture and the resultant echo will diffuse isotropically therefrom, thereby improving the ultrasonic detectability thereof.
