whitacre needle 25g
The Whitacre needle 25g represents a significant advancement in spinal needle technology, specifically designed for precise and efficient spinal anesthesia procedures. This specialized needle features a unique pencil-point tip design that sets it apart from traditional cutting needles. The 25-gauge size offers an optimal balance between ease of use and minimal tissue trauma. The needle's construction incorporates high-grade stainless steel, ensuring both durability and biocompatibility. Its distinctive tip configuration creates a small separation in the dural fibers rather than cutting them, which significantly reduces the risk of post-dural puncture headaches. The needle includes clear depth markings for accurate placement and features a transparent hub for rapid cerebrospinal fluid visualization. The Whitacre 25g is equipped with a well-fitted stylet that prevents tissue coring during insertion. Its length is optimized for both average and larger patients, making it versatile across different clinical scenarios. The needle's design also incorporates ergonomic considerations, with a comfortable grip that enables precise control during procedures. This medical device has become a standard choice in anesthesiology departments worldwide, particularly valued for its reliability in both routine and challenging spinal anesthesia cases.
