Description
The Avanos 183A21 is a Tuohy Epidural Needle. It is a precision-engineered medical needle designed for the administration of regional anesthesia or the placement of an epidural catheter.
This specific part number identifies a 25 Gauge needle, which is one of the finest diameters available for epidural access, typically used for specialized patient populations or procedures requiring minimal tissue trauma.
Key Features
Tuohy Tip Design: Features the signature curved bevel. This design is critical for providing tactile feedback ("loss of resistance") when entering the epidural space and for safely guiding an epidural catheter into position without puncturing the dura mater.
25 Gauge Diameter: The very small diameter of this needle is often chosen for pediatric patients or in cases where reducing the risk of a post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) is a primary clinical concern.
3.5-Inch Length (90 mm): The standard procedural length, providing sufficient reach to access the epidural space in most adult and pediatric patients.
Carolina Blue Color-Coded Hub: The plastic hub is color-coded Carolina Blue, following the international standard for 25 Gauge medical needles to allow for instant identification.
1 cm Depth Markings: The needle shaft is etched with visible bands every 1 cm. These graduations help the clinician monitor the depth of insertion accurately during the procedure.
Metal Stylet: Includes a matched metal stylet that prevents tissue coring (plugging the needle with skin or fat) and provides additional column strength to the thin 25G shaft during advancement.
Removable Wings: Equipped with wings that can be attached to provide a stable grip and enhanced control, or removed according to the clinician's preferred technique.
