High-visibility protected ultrasound needle for carrying out ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation or electrolysis techniques

Protected needle with high ultrasound visibility for performing ultrasound-guided percutaneous electrolysis or neuromodulation techniques consisting of a dry puncture or acupuncture needle formed by a conductive metallic grip (2) coupled to a handle that connects it to a device that generates an electric current to be applied, and a conductive and metallic body (3) in the form of a cylindrical, thin and long rod having a length variable among 30, 40, 50, 60, 75 and 100 mm, with a blunt tip (4), said protected needle comprising:

• said body (3) being made of galvanized steel for maximizing a density of said body (3) and being shaped at least partially non-cylindrical for minimizing an ultrasound refraction that provides high ultrasound visibility;
• and
• a biocompatible electrically insulating protection layer (5) covering a length of the body (3) except a working segment (6) of variable length (l) provided before the blunt tip (4).
