The Polymed Spinal Needle is a medical instrument specifically designed for administering spinal anesthesia. It features a Quincke point with a conical tip, which provides tactile feedback to the clinician during insertion. The design allows for a high flow rate, which enables a more rapid visualization of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), confirming correct needle placement. The clear polycarbonate hub also aids in the easy visualization of CSF. This needle is intended for use by qualified physicians or clinicians for injecting anesthetics or extracting spinal fluid.
Quincke Point Design: The needle features a sharp, beveled Quincke point designed for spinal anesthesia procedures. Conical Tip: Equipped with a conical tip that provides tactile feedback to the clinician, which can enhance control and accuracy during insertion. High Flow Rate: Engineered for a high flow rate to allow for faster flashback of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), which helps in confirming needle placement. Transparent Hub: The hub is made of clear polycarbonate, which allows for easy visualization of CSF. Stainless Steel Construction: Made from stainless steel and may be coated with a thin layer of silicone for smooth insertion and withdrawal.
Q: What is this spinal needle used for?
A: This spinal needle is designed for spinal anesthesia procedures, allowing for the administration of anesthetic into the subarachnoid space. It can also be used for diagnostic lumbar punctures to collect cerebrospinal fluid.
Q: What do the measurements '20G' and '3.5 inch' mean?
A: The '20G' refers to the gauge of the needle, which indicates its diameter. The '3.5 inch' (or 90mm) specifies the length of the needle.
Q: What type of point does this needle have?
A: Polymed spinal needles are available with a Quincke point, which has a cutting bevel tip designed for smoother entry and to minimize trauma during insertion.
Q: What are some features of this needle?
A: It features a transparent hub for easy visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flashback, a conical tip for good tactile feedback, and is designed for a high flow rate to confirm placement. It also includes a stylet to prevent tissue from clogging the needle.
Q: Is this product sterile and for single use?
A: Yes, this spinal needle is provided in a sterile package and is intended for single use only to prevent contamination and ensure patient safety.
Designed for Spinal Anesthesia: Specifically intended for use in spinal anesthesia and lumbar puncture procedures. Aids Procedural Control: The conical tip is designed to provide tactile feedback, assisting the clinician in accurate placement. Facilitates CSF Confirmation: A high flow rate and transparent hub are engineered to allow for quicker and easier visualization of cerebrospinal fluid flashback. Smooth Insertion: The needle is made of stainless steel and may be siliconized for smooth and comfortable penetration.
For use by a qualified physician or clinician only. 1. Check the integrity of the product packaging and the expiration date before use. 2. Open the unit pack using a sterile technique and remove the plastic tip protector. 3. Examine the needle body and tip to confirm their integrity. 4. Prepare the puncture area according to standard aseptic technique. 5. Advance the needle into the subarachnoid space. Confirm placement by monitoring for CSF flow. 6. Once placement is confirmed, inject the anesthetic material. 7. After the procedure is complete, withdraw the needle and dispose of it according to local medical waste regulations.
