Key Design Features
Deep Access Reach: The 6-inch length is significantly longer than the standard 3.5-inch adult needle, allowing clinicians to reach the subarachnoid space in patients where a standard needle would be too short.
Quincke Bevel: The sharp, cutting tip provides the necessary tactile sensitivity for the clinician to feel the distinct "pop" when the needle penetrates the ligamentum flavum and dura mater, even at greater depths.
Matched Metal Stylet: A precision-fitted stylet aligns with the needle bevel to prevent tissue coring and provides essential column strength to keep the needle from bending during deep insertion.
Transparent Hub: The clear plastic hub allows for immediate visualization of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) "flashback," confirming correct placement.
Removable Wings: Included to give the practitioner the choice of a winged or non-winged grip, depending on their insertion technique.
