Description
The Avanos 183A07 is a Tuohy Epidural Needle. It is a specialized, sterile medical needle designed for the administration of epidural anesthesia or the placement of an epidural catheter into the epidural space.
While some earlier descriptions in our conversation correctly identified Avanos' role in pain management, a search confirms that the specific part number 183A07 refers to a Tuohy Needle, not a COOLIEF* probe.
Key Features
Tuohy Tip Design: Features a curved, directional "Tuohy" tip. This curvature is designed to help clinicians feel the "loss of resistance" as they enter the epidural space and to guide an epidural catheter upward or downward away from the spinal cord.
18 Gauge Diameter: A standard mid-sized gauge that provides a balance between procedural control and the internal diameter necessary to pass an epidural catheter through the needle.
3.5-Inch Length (approx. 9 cm): The standard procedural length used for most adult patients to reach the epidural space safely.
1 cm Graduations: The shaft of the needle is marked with visible bands every 1 cm to help the clinician monitor the depth of insertion in real-time.
Removable Wings: Equipped with clear, removable wings that provide a secure grip and better tactile feedback during the delicate insertion process.
Clear Plastic Hub: Allows for immediate visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or blood, which is a critical safety feature to ensure the needle is correctly positioned.
