Description
The Avanos 183109 is a specialized Discogram Set (also referred to as a Double Needle Set). Unlike standard single spinal needles, this kit contains a "needle-through-needle" system designed for deep-access procedures like provocative discography or specialized spinal injections.
Key Features
Double Needle System: This set utilizes a long, fine-gauge spinal needle that is passed through a shorter, larger-gauge introducer needle. This design provides the stability needed to reach deep structures while maintaining a thin profile for the final injection.
Quincke Style Tip: The primary spinal needle features a traditional Quincke (sharp) bevel, designed for precise penetration and excellent tactile feedback as it passes through various tissue layers.
Deep Access Capability: With an 8-inch primary needle, this set is specifically engineered to reach the intervertebral discs or deep nerve structures that standard 3.5-inch or 5-inch needles cannot reach.
Matched Components: The introducer and spinal needle are precision-matched to ensure a smooth fit, reducing friction and ensuring the inner needle remains straight during advancement.
Fitted Metal Stylets: Both the introducer and the spinal needle come with fitted metal stylets to prevent tissue coring and maintain needle rigidity.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 183109.
Spinal Needle (Inner): 25 Gauge x 8 inches (20.3 cm).
Introducer Needle (Outer): 20 Gauge x 5 inches (12.7 cm).
Needle Style: Quincke (Sharp Bevel).

Sterility: Sterile, single-use.
Packaging: Sold in a case of 25 sets.
Primary Uses
Discography: The primary use for this set. It allows a clinician to navigate through the tough outer layers of the back using the 20G introducer, then thread the 25G needle directly into the nucleus pulposus of a spinal disc to inject contrast media for diagnostic imaging.
Deep Regional Anesthesia: Used for nerve blocks or injections in patients with a very large body habitus where standard-length needles are insufficient.
Chronic Pain Management: Employed in specialized pain clinics for targeted injections into deep spinal structures or for delivering medication to specific vertebral levels
