Description
The Avanos 182122 is a Single-Shot Epidural Tray. It belongs to a family of procedural kits designed to provide all the essential, sterile components needed for a one-time anesthetic injection into the epidural space.
Key Features
Comprehensive Kit: Pre-assembled to save time in clinical settings by grouping together the necessary needles, syringes, and prep materials in a single sterile package.
Safety & Organization: Includes dedicated syringe labels and a needle stick pad to help maintain a clear sterile field and reduce the risk of accidental needle injuries during the procedure.
Protective CSR Wrap: The tray is encased in a 24" x 24" alcohol-repellent wrap, designed to keep the instruments sterile even when liquid prep solutions are being handled.
Standard Gauge: This model typically features an 18G Touhy needle, which is a common gauge for adult epidurals, providing a reliable channel for the injection of local anesthetics or steroids.
