Key Features

  • Quincke Point Design: The sharp, beveled tip is designed for smooth skin penetration and precise placement. It is a "cutting" needle, which is the traditional choice for rapid entry and high tactile feedback during the procedure.

  • Translucent Hub: The plastic hub is clear to allow the clinician to see the "flash" of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) as soon as the subarachnoid space is successfully entered.

  • Fitted Metal Stylet: Each needle includes a precisely fitted stylet that stays in place during insertion to prevent the hollow needle from becoming clogged with tissue or skin plugs.

  • Color-Coded Hub: The black hub allows for quick identification of the 22G size in a busy clinical or surgical setting.

  • Standard Length: The 3.5-inch length is the universal standard for lumbar punctures in average-sized adult patients.


Medical Description

The 18336 is clinically indicated for the administration of spinal anesthesia or for diagnostic sampling of cerebrospinal fluid.
