Method and system for insufflating a body cavity using a percutaneous needle

A system comprising:

• an insufflator configured to supply insufflation fluid;
• and
• a needle coupled to the insufflator and configured to facilitate delivery of the insufflation fluid to a body cavity, the needle comprising a shaft portion extending at least partially into a hub portion, wherein:
• the shaft portion comprises an outer lumen and at least one inner lumen;
• the outer lumen:
• has a diameter between approximately 3.0 mm and 5.0 mm;
• and
• comprises at least one aperture at a first end of the outer lumen and at least one aperture at a second end of the outer lumen, wherein the first end is positioned proximal to the hub portion of the needle and the second end terminates in a needle point;
• the at least one inner lumen:
• has a diameter between approximately 0.8 mm and 2.0 mm;
• and
• a spring-loaded bobbin positioned within the second end of the outer lumen and configured to move from a first position to a second position, wherein:
• the first position allows the insufflation fluid to flow through the at least one aperture at the second end of the outer lumen;
• and
• the second position exposes the needle point of the outer lumen and prevents the insufflation fluid from flowing through the at least one aperture at the second end of the outer lumen.
