Spinal Needle

A spinal needle is a specialized medical device used for accessing the subarachnoid space in the lumbar region to administer spinal anesthesia, collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for diagnostic testing, or perform therapeutic procedures. It is designed for precision and patient comfort during procedures such as lumbar punctures.

Spinal introducer needles allow for easy insertion of the Spinal Needle and provide additional support.
Available in two types quincke and pencil type Quincke Type needles provide a sharper bevel for low puncture force, while allowing for a tactile, reliable the precision-ground stylets are designed to minimized tissue coring and optimize gliding characteristics.  

 

  • Aseptic Technique: Always use aseptic technique to prevent infection.
  • Proper Disposal: Dispose of used needles in designated sharps containers to prevent needlestick injuries.
  • Patient Monitoring: Monitor the patient for any adverse reactions or complications during and after the procedure.
  • Precision: Allows for accurate placement within the subarachnoid space.
  • Patient Comfort: Designed to minimize discomfort during insertion.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a variety of procedures, including spinal anesthesia and CSF collection.
  • Safety: Features like atraumatic tips reduce the risk of complications.

 

  • Atraumatic Tip: Reduces tissue trauma and the risk of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH).
  • Clear Markings: Depth markings on the needle for precise insertion control.
  • Ergonomic Hub: Designed for easy handling and secure attachment to syringes.
  • Stylet: Comes with a matching stylet to maintain needle integrity and minimize the risk of occlusion.
  • Single Use: Ensures sterility and reduces the risk of infection.

 

How it Works:

  1. Preparation: Select the appropriate gauge and length based on the patient's needs and the procedure.
  2. Insertion: Insert the needle into the lumbar region, typically between L3-L4 or L4-L5 vertebrae, using aseptic technique.
  3. Advancement: Advance the needle carefully until it reaches the subarachnoid space.
  4. Stylet Removal: Remove the stylet to allow CSF to flow or to administer anesthesia.
  5. Procedure Completion: Complete the intended procedure, whether it's collecting CSF or administering medication.
  6. Removal: Carefully remove the needle and apply pressure to the puncture site to prevent bleeding.
  • Material: Made from high-quality stainless steel for durability and biocompatibility.
  • Gauge Sizes: Available in various gauge sizes, typically ranging from 18G to 27G, to accommodate different procedures and patient needs.
  • Length: Varies depending on the gauge, generally ranging from 3.5 inches (88.9 mm) to 6 inches (152.4 mm).
  • Tip Design: Includes options such as Quincke, Whitacre, or Sprotte tips, each designed for specific procedural needs.
  • Hub: Transparent or colored hub for easy visualization and secure attachment.
  • Sterility: Sterile, single-use, and individually packaged to ensure safety and sterility.

 

Applications:

  • Spinal Anesthesia: Administering anesthetic agents directly into the subarachnoid space for surgeries below the umbilicus.
  • Lumbar Puncture: Collecting cerebrospinal fluid for diagnostic testing, such as for meningitis or multiple sclerosis.
  • Therapeutic Procedures: Administering medications for pain management or chemotherapy.
