Superior Safety Design
The exceptional safety features of a good epidural needle represent a significant advancement in regional anesthesia delivery. The carefully engineered Tuohy tip design incorporates a curved point with a lateral opening, specifically designed to minimize the risk of accidental dural puncture. This safety-first approach is further enhanced by the needle's optimal stiffness, which provides the perfect balance between tactile feedback and directional control. The incorporation of clear depth markings at regular intervals allows for precise placement verification, reducing the risk of complications. Additionally, the needle's wings provide stable handling during insertion, enabling controlled advancement through tissue layers. The hub design includes tactile features that help practitioners maintain proper orientation throughout the procedure, further contributing to procedural safety.
