pencil point spinal needle with introducer
The pencil point spinal needle with introducer represents a significant advancement in spinal anesthesia delivery systems. This specialized medical device features a unique pencil point tip design that separates tissue fibers rather than cutting through them, significantly reducing the risk of post-dural puncture headaches. The needle consists of a precisely engineered stainless steel shaft with a non-cutting point, complemented by a separate introducer that facilitates accurate placement. The introducer serves as a guide, creating an initial pathway through the tissue layers while protecting the delicate pencil point tip from damage or deformation. The needle's design includes clear depth markings, enabling healthcare providers to maintain precise control during insertion. Available in various gauges and lengths, these needles accommodate different patient populations and procedural requirements. The pencil point design, combined with the introducer system, offers superior tactile feedback during dural penetration, allowing practitioners to clearly identify when they have accessed the subarachnoid space. The system also features a transparent hub that enables quick visualization of cerebrospinal fluid flashback, confirming proper placement. This innovative design makes the device particularly suitable for both routine spinal anesthesia procedures and more complex interventions requiring precise medication delivery to the subarachnoid space.
