Description
The 183A022 is the product code for a 25 Gauge, 5-inch (127 mm) Avanos Quincke Point Spinal Needle.
This needle is part of the Avanos Pain Management portfolio. It is an "extra-long" spinal needle specifically designed for procedures where a standard 3.5-inch needle is insufficient to reach the subarachnoid space, most commonly in bariatric patients or those with a deeper spinal canal.
Technical Specifications

Key Design Features
Extended Reach: The 5-inch length allows clinicians to successfully perform spinal anesthesia or lumbar punctures on patients with a high Body Mass Index (BMI) or significant soft tissue depth.
Quincke Bevel: The cutting tip provides excellent tactile feedback. Clinicians can "feel" the layers of tissue, including the distinct "pop" when passing through the ligamentum flavum and entering the dura.
Integrated Metal Stylet: A high-quality metal stylet is matched to the needle's lumen. This adds necessary column strength to prevent the needle from bending during the long path to the spine and prevents skin/fat from clogging the needle (coring).
Clear Flashback Hub: The transparent hub is designed for immediate visualization of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF), confirming that the needle tip is in the correct position.
Removable Wings: This allows the practitioner to customize their grip for better control during the insertion of this longer needle.
