Description
Key Features
Sterile Comprehensive Kit: Each tray is a single-use, sterile package containing the essential tools for an epidural procedure, reducing the risk of infection and streamlining preparation for the clinician.
Specialized Needle: Typically includes a Tuohy-style epidural needle, which has a curved tip to help guide the medication into the epidural space while minimizing the risk of puncturing the dura mater.
Component Precision: The tray generally includes sponges, drapes, a 1% Lidocaine ampule for skin numbing, and a "loss-of-resistance" (LOR) syringe, which is critical for identifying the correct depth of the epidural space.
Organized Layout: Components are arranged in the order of use to maintain aseptic technique and improve procedural efficiency.
Primary Uses
Regional Anesthesia: Used for surgical procedures involving the lower abdomen, pelvis, or lower extremities where a temporary, localized block is required.
Acute Pain Management: Frequently used for labor pain (when a continuous catheter is not yet needed) or for treating severe acute back pain.
Diagnostic Blocks: To help physicians identify the specific source of a patient's pain by temporarily numbing a target area.
Typical Tray Contents
Epidural Needle: Often a 17G or 18G Tuohy needle.
LOR Syringe: A specialized syringe used to detect the change in pressure when the needle enters the epidural space.
Local Anesthetic: For the initial skin numbing.
Prep Solutions: Sponges and antiseptic for cleaning the insertion site.
Fenestrated Drape: To create a sterile field on the patient's back.
