What Kind of Needle is Used for a Lap Band Fill?

Question

Christopher S. Cobourn, MD · Answer

Just a regular needle that is very small.  The adjustments are relatively painless and can be done in the clinic in just a few minutes.

Hello, please make sure that a Huber needle is used. This is a non-coring needle that will not damage the port.

Michael F. Sedrak, MD - Account Suspended · Answer

a non-coring needle is required, otherwise the port is damaged and can leak. examples are a huber needle, or a lap band needle, but they are basically the same, and what you'll notice is that instead of being totally straight, that the tip of the need is bent or curved.
