Description
The Avanos 183106 is a Short Bevel Spinal Needle. Unlike the comprehensive procedural trays or cleaning brushes previously discussed, this model is a standalone, sterile, single-use needle designed for spinal (subarachnoid) anesthesia or diagnostic lumbar punctures.
Key Features
Short Bevel Tip: Features a 30-degree angle, atraumatic bevel. This design is intended to minimize tissue trauma and provide better tactile "feedback" to the clinician as the needle passes through the various layers of tissue into the spinal space.
Precision Stylet: Equipped with a fitted metal stylet that maintains the integrity of the needle during insertion and prevents the "coring" of tissue (carrying skin or tissue plugs into the spinal space).
Sliding Depth Indicator: Includes a built-in depth marker on the needle shaft, allowing the clinician to monitor the depth of insertion more accurately.
Transparent Plastic Hub: The hub is designed for high visibility, allowing for the rapid detection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) "flashback," which confirms successful entry into the subarachnoid space.
Technical Specifications
Model Number: 183106.
Needle Gauge: 22 Gauge.
Needle Length: 3.5 inches (approx. 8.89 cm).
Color Code: Black (standardized for 22G identification).
Needle Material: Medical-grade stainless steel with a plastic hub.
Sterilization: Ethylene Oxide (EtO).
Packaging: Sold in a case of 25 units.
Primary Uses
Spinal Anesthesia: Used to deliver a one-time "spinal block" of local anesthetic for surgical procedures involving the lower abdomen, pelvis, or lower extremities.
Lumbar Puncture (LP): Utilized for diagnostic purposes to collect cerebrospinal fluid for laboratory analysis (e.g., testing for meningitis or multiple sclerosis).
Pressure Monitoring: Can be used to measure opening pressure of the CSF in patients with suspected intracranial hypertension.
