BD Spinal Needle

This product is a sterile, single-use medical device designed for dural puncture procedures. It is constructed from medical-grade stainless steel and features a Quincke point tip, engineered for clean and precise penetration of the dura mater. The needle's design aims to facilitate accurate placement during various spinal interventions.

The translucent hub allows for direct visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) return, which is a critical indicator for correct needle positioning within the subarachnoid space. The alignment mechanism between the stylet and the cannula ensures that the bevel orientation is consistently maintained, further supporting procedural accuracy.

These spinal needles are available in a range of sizes to accommodate different patient anatomies and procedural requirements. The available gauges include 18, 20, 22, 23, 25, and 27G, with lengths extending from 90 mm to 178 mm. This variety allows healthcare professionals to select the most appropriate needle for specific clinical applications.

The hubs are color-coded, with grey hubs specifically designed for easy differentiation and compatibility with other needle types within a clinical setting, aiding in efficient workflow and reducing the potential for errors.

The primary application for this device is in procedures requiring access to the subarachnoid space, such as the administration of spinal anesthesia or the collection of cerebrospinal fluid for diagnostic purposes. It is intended for use by trained medical professionals, including anesthesiologists, neurologists, and other physicians performing lumbar punctures or related interventions. The single-use nature of the needle is a critical safety feature, designed to eliminate the risk of cross-contamination and hospital-acquired infections.

When using this product, it is essential to adhere to standard sterile techniques. Prior to use, the integrity of the packaging should be confirmed; the device should not be used if the package is damaged or compromised. Resterilization is not recommended and should not be attempted.

The product is intended for immediate use after opening the sterile packaging and must be discarded safely after a single use to prevent accidental needlestick injuries and the spread of infection. Storage should be in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of unauthorized individuals.

The Quincke point design of the needle is characterized by its sharp, lancet-like tip, which is intended to create a clean cut in the dural membrane, potentially minimizing the risk of post-dural puncture headache compared to other needle tip designs. The combination of material quality, precise manufacturing, and thoughtful design features aims to provide a reliable and effective tool for spinal procedures. The availability of multiple sizes and lengths ensures versatility for a broad spectrum of clinical scenarios encountered in anesthesiology and neurology.
