Quincke Spinal Needle, 22G x 3.5", Sterile, Black

$155.95

Description

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.

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

Common Clinical Use Cases:

Spinal Anesthesia: Delivering local anesthetic directly into the CSF for surgical procedures involving the lower abdomen, pelvis, or legs.
Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap): Collecting CSF for diagnostic testing to check for meningitis, multiple sclerosis, or subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Myelography: Injecting contrast media into the spinal canal for specialized imaging.
Intrathecal Medication: Delivering medications directly into the spinal canal for chronic pain management.
