Description
The Polymed Spinal Needle is a medical device designed for spinal anesthesia and lumbar puncture procedures. It features a Quincke point with a conical tip, which provides tactile feedback to the clinician during insertion and allows for smooth entry, potentially minimizing trauma. The needle is engineered for a high flow rate, which facilitates a quicker flashback of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), helping to confirm correct needle placement efficiently. Made from stainless steel, it includes a transparent hub for visualization and is siliconized for smoother penetration.
Quincke Point Design: Features a Quincke tip that is designed for smoother entry to minimize trauma. Conical Tip: The needle is equipped with a conical tip that provides tactile feedback to the clinician during insertion, which can enhance procedural control. High Flow Rate: Engineered to provide a high flow rate, enabling faster cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flashback for confirmation of placement. Transparent Hub: Comes with a transparent plastic hub for clear visualization. Stainless Steel Construction: Made from high-quality stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion.
Q: What is the intended medical use for this spinal needle?
A: This Polymed spinal needle is designed for administering spinal anesthesia and for lumbar puncture procedures. It is intended for use by healthcare professionals.
Q: What does '23G x 3.5 inch' signify?
A: The term '23G' refers to the needle's gauge or diameter, and '3.5 inch' indicates the length of the needle.
Q: What type of point does this needle feature?
A: This spinal needle has a Quincke type point, which is designed for a smoother entry and to minimize trauma during insertion.
Q: What is the purpose of the clear hub?
A: The clear or translucent polycarbonate hub allows for easy visualization of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which helps confirm the correct placement of the needle.
Q: Is this a single-use device?
A: Yes, this is a sterile, disposable needle intended for single use only to maintain aseptic conditions and prevent cross-contamination.

Direction for Use/Dosage
To be used by a qualified physician or clinician only. Before use, check the integrity of the product, packaging, and expiration date. Open the unit pack using a sterile technique and remove the plastic tip protector. Examine the needle body and tip to confirm integrity. Prepare the puncture area according to the standard aseptic technique. Advance the needle until it reaches the subarachnoid space. Pull back the stylet to monitor for Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) flow to confirm the needle tip is inside the subarachnoid space. After confirming placement, remove the stylet and inject the anesthetic drug. Once the procedure is complete, remove the needle and dispose of it according to local medical waste regulations.
