The Becton Dickinson (BD) Spinal Needle is a sterile, single-use medical instrument intended for procedures such as spinal anesthesia and diagnostic lumbar punctures. This 20 gauge, 3.5-inch needle features a Quincke type bevel, which is a sharp, cutting tip designed for entry into the subarachnoid space to inject anaesthetics or withdraw cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Its design focuses on providing a reliable tool for clinicians performing spinal procedures.
Quincke Bevel Tip: Features a sharp, short bevel designed for controlled entry and to minimize tissue trauma during insertion. Translucent Hub: The hub is transparent, allowing for the easy visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to confirm proper needle placement. Bevel Orientation System: A key/slot arrangement between the stylet and cannula hubs helps in correctly orienting the needle bevel during the procedure. Fitted Stylet: The stylet is designed to fit the cannula precisely, which may reduce the coring of tissue during needle insertion. Color-Coded Hub: The hub is color-coded (grey or yellow for 20G) for quick identification of the needle gauge.
