Description
The Polymed Spinal Needle is a medical instrument used to administer anesthesia or medication into the subarachnoid space of the spinal canal. It can also be utilized for collecting cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for diagnostic analysis. This particular needle is manufactured from high-grade stainless steel and features a Quincke type point designed to minimize patient discomfort during procedures.
Quincke Point Tip: Features a sharp, short-bevel Quincke tip for smoother entry, which may help minimize tissue trauma. Transparent Hub: The hub is made of clear polycarbonate, which allows for easy visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flashback to confirm correct needle placement. High Flow Rate Design: The needle is designed to facilitate a high flow rate, which enables faster CSF flashback and distribution of anesthetic medication. Conical Tip: The conical tip design provides tactile feedback to the clinician during insertion for better precision. Precision Engineering: Manufactured using quality-assured materials and advanced techniques to meet procedural standards.
