18G-27G Disposable spinal anesthesia needle pencil point and quincke bevel with and without introducer needle

Spinal anesthesia needles are medical devices designed for administering spinal anesthesia, a type of regional anesthesia that involves injecting an anesthetic agent into the subarachnoid space surrounding the spinal cord. These needles are typically long, thin, and sharp, allowing for precise insertion through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and ligaments into the spinal canal.

Key features of spinal anesthesia needles may include:

• Sharp Tip: The needle is designed to penetrate the tough ligaments and dura mater to access the subarachnoid space accurately.
• Hub: The hub at the base of the needle allows for easy handling and attachment to syringes containing the anesthetic agent.
• Markings: Depth markings on the needle shaft aid in gauging the depth of insertion into the spinal canal.
• Different Gauges and Lengths: Spinal anesthesia needles come in various gauges (thickness) and lengths to suit different patient populations and procedural requirements.
• Bevel Orientation: The orientation of the bevel (the slanted tip of the needle) can affect the spread and direction of the anesthetic solution upon injection.
• Sterile Packaging: These needles are typically sterile and individually packaged to maintain their sterility until use.

When using spinal anesthesia needles, healthcare professionals must follow strict aseptic techniques to minimize the risk of infection and ensure patient safety during the administration of spinal anesthesia procedures.

The application of a spinal anesthesia needle primarily involves its use in performing spinal anesthesia procedures. Here are some key points regarding the application of a spinal anesthesia needle:

• Procedure: Spinal anesthesia, also known as subarachnoid block, involves injecting an anesthetic agent into the subarachnoid space around the spinal cord using a spinal anesthesia needle. This procedure results in regional anesthesia, numbing the lower part of the body for surgical or diagnostic purposes.
• Insertion: The needle is inserted through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, ligaments, and dura mater (the tough membrane surrounding the spinal cord) to access the subarachnoid space. Proper technique is crucial to ensure accurate placement and minimize complications.
• Anesthetic Injection: Once the needle is correctly positioned, the anesthetic solution is injected into the subarachnoid space. The goal is to achieve effective anesthesia for the intended area while minimizing side effects.
• Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, healthcare professionals monitor the patient's vital signs and response to the anesthesia to ensure safety and efficacy.
• Safety Considerations: Strict aseptic techniques must be followed to prevent infection. Careful attention to patient positioning, needle insertion depth, and dosage calculation is essential to minimize risks and optimize outcomes.
• Varieties: Spinal anesthesia needles come in various sizes, lengths, and designs to accommodate different patient populations and procedural requirements. Selecting the appropriate needle for the specific application is crucial for successful anesthesia delivery.
• Training: Healthcare providers performing spinal anesthesia procedures should receive adequate training and have a thorough understanding of anatomy, needle insertion techniques, dosage calculations, and potential complications.

Overall, the application of a spinal anesthesia needle is a specialized procedure that requires precision, expertise, and attention to detail to ensure safe and effective anesthesia delivery for patients undergoing surgical or diagnostic interventions.

FAQ:

1.What is a spinal needle used for?
Spinal needles are used to inject analgesia and/or anaesthetic directly into the CSF usually at a point below the second lumbar vertebra. Spinal needles enter the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) through the membranes surrounding the spinal cord.

2.What is the difference between a spinal needle and an epidural?
The spinal cord and the nerves are contained in a sac of cerebrospinal fluid. The space around this sac is the epidural space. Spinal anesthesia involves the injection of numbing medicine directly into the fluid sac. Epidurals involve the injection into the space outside the sac (epidural space).

3.What is a 25G spinal needle used for?
Medrop Spinal needle 25G Pack of 10 Medical Needle (Orange ...
lumbar puncture procedures
A 25G spinal needle is considered relatively small and is often used for procedures in infants, children, and adults who have small body frames or who are more sensitive to pain. A spinal needle 25G is a medical device used for lumbar puncture procedures.

4.Does spinal needle hurt?
Will I feel anything during the Spinal? Spinal anaesthetic is no more painful than having a blood test, especially with a local anaesthetic injection at the skin. Most patients do not feel anything other than a warm sensation in their legs or buttocks as the spinal anaesthetic takes effect.
