Spinal Needle (Quincke Pt) – 23g X 5", 183138

$395.95

Description

The 183138 is a long, fine-gauge needle featuring the traditional "Quincke" point, which is characterized by a sharp, medium-length bevel.

Gauge: 23 G
Length: 5 inches (127 mm) — This is an "extra-long" needle, typically used for bariatric patients or specific procedures requiring deeper penetration.
Point Style: Quincke (Sharp Bevel)
Hub Material: Translucent Plastic (for easy visualization of Cerebrospinal Fluid/CSF "flashback").
Stylet: Metal (designed to prevent tissue coring during insertion).
Sterility: Sterile, single-use, non-pyrogenic.
Packaging: 25 units per case.

Quincke Bevel: The sharp, cutting tip is designed for smooth penetration through the skin and ligaments. It provides distinct "tactile feedback" (a "pop") as the needle passes through the dura mater.
Extra-Long Reach: While standard spinal needles are typically 3.5 inches, the 5-inch length of the 183138 is specifically engineered to reach the spinal canal in patients with larger body habitus or significant subcutaneous tissue.
Color-Coded Hub: The plastic hub is color-coded (Deep Pink/Brown for 23G) to allow for quick size identification in a clinical setting.
Matched Stylet: Each needle comes with a precision-fitted metal stylet that maintains the integrity of the needle tip and prevents the introduction of skin plugs into the subarachnoid space.
Translucent Hub Design: The clear hub allows clinicians to see the flow of CSF immediately, confirming successful entry into the spinal canal.

The 183138 is clinically indicated for:

Spinal Anesthesia: Delivering local anesthetics for surgical procedures (e.g., lower limb surgery, urology, or C-sections).
Lumbar Puncture (LP): Collecting CSF for diagnostic testing (e.g., checking for meningitis or multiple sclerosis).
Pressure Measurement: Attaching a manometer to check intracranial pressure.
Pain Management: Injecting steroids or other medications into the spinal space for chronic pain relief.
