Vortex™ Threaded Bone Marrow Recovery Needle for Aspiration From the Anterior Superior Iliac Spine

Michael Gallizzi, MD, MS (Denver, CO), demonstrates the use of the Vortex™ threaded bone marrow recovery needle to aspirate marrow from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), including surgical preparation and approach, proper aspiration technique, and needle removal. The unique threaded tip and vent holes in the Vortex needle allow the surgeon to control the depth and direction of aspiration within the ASIS.
