Single Use Anesthesia Cannulas Spinal Needle Puncture Quincke Tip Pencil Point Spinal Needles

1. Disposable Spinal Needle: This type of needle is designed for use in spinal procedures, including spinal anesthesia or other spinal interventions. Being disposable means it's intended for single-use only to reduce the risk of contamination.

2. Pencil Point Tip: The "pencil point" tip is a specific design that aims to reduce trauma to the spinal cord during insertion. Pencil-point tips are associated with a lower incidence of post-dural puncture headache compared to cutting-tip needles.

3. 25G (Gauge): The gauge size (in this case, 25G) refers to the thickness or diameter of the needle. A lower gauge number indicates a larger needle. In the context of spinal needles, a smaller gauge is generally preferred for spinal anesthesia as it may cause less trauma during insertion.

4. Anesthesia Spinal Needles: These needles are commonly used for administering anesthesia in spinal procedures. The choice of needle size and type depends on the specific requirements of the procedure and the preferences of the healthcare professional.

5. Single-Use (Disposable): The disposable nature of the needle is crucial in medical settings to prevent the risk of infection or complications associated with reusing needles.

Spinal needles are employed in various medical contexts, including epidurals and spinal taps, and their design is tailored to minimize patient discomfort and complications.

It's important to note that the choice of a specific needle for a medical procedure is determined by factors such as the patient's condition, the type of procedure, and the healthcare professional's judgment. If you have specific questions or need more detailed information, it's recommended to consult with a healthcare professional or medical supplier.

What is a spinal needle used for?
Description: Spinal needles are used for lumbar puncture for spinal anaesthesia or diagnostic puncture of the spinal canal. Quincke tip with double bevel enables atraumatic puncture of the dura and minimises the risk of post-spinal headache.

What size is a spinal needle?

1. 22G to 27G: These are standard sizes for spinal needles. Smaller gauge needles (e.g., 27G) are finer and may be associated with less trauma during insertion but might have a slower flow rate for medications.

2. 25G: This is a common size for spinal needles used in many spinal procedures, including spinal anesthesia.

3. 27G: Smaller gauge needles like 27G are often used for more delicate procedures where minimizing trauma is essential.

Is spinal needle painful?
At the beginning of these procedures, you may experience a mild burning sensation at the injection site, while we are numbing the skin. After that you should only feel touch or pressure or very rarely a short electrical sensation going down your legs.
