Key Design Features
Bariatric Access: The 5-inch length provides the necessary reach for patients where a standard 3.5-inch needle cannot reach the subarachnoid space.
Increased Rigidity: Because it is a 22-gauge needle (thicker than a 25G), it is less likely to bend or "bow" during insertion through deep tissue, which is particularly important for a 5-inch needle.
Quincke Bevel: The cutting tip is engineered to provide tactile feedback to the clinician, allowing them to feel the distinct change in resistance as the needle passes through the ligamentum flavum and dura mater.
Clear Plastic Hub: Allows for the immediate visualization of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) "flashback" to confirm successful entry into the spinal canal.
Fitted Metal Stylet: Each needle comes with a stylet matched to the bevel to prevent tissue coring and provide additional structural support.
