Havel’s Inc. recently attended the Mayo Clinic Diagnostic & interventional Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course in Rochester, MN from July 15-17th.

The clinic was very successful and the attendees from all over the United States were very excited about the information and skills that they were learning. It was very well organized with classes, breakout sessions, and hands on classes with a lot of information.

As the only company displaying needles at the clinic, Havel’s Inc. had a very busy table. We were featuring our Echoblock MSK ultrasound needles and our newly released Echoblock PTC needles. The attendees were very eager to sample the Echoblock PTC needles because of the Micro Laser Etching (MLE) near the tip, they felt that these needles would greatly help them with the ultrasound guided injections they were learning about.

Dr. Jay Smith of the Mayo Clinic, the host of the workshop and one of the instructors, took several of the Echoblock PTC needles to the cadaver workshop for the attendees to try. After using them he told me they looked great under ultrasound. Overall everyone seemed pleased with the items we were showing.
