Description
The Whitacre spinal needle, 24G x 4 inch, is a precision-engineered medical instrument specifically designed for use in regional anesthesia procedures. Its pencil point design allows for controlled and atraumatic entry into the subarachnoid space, reducing the likelihood of tissue damage during insertion. The needle is commonly employed in spinal block procedures, providing a reliable tool for anesthesia delivery in surgical and pain management settings.
Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the needle ensures structural strength and resistance to bending. The 24-gauge diameter offers a fine balance between ease of insertion and patient comfort, while the 4-inch length provides sufficient reach for varied patient anatomies. The pencil point bevel distributes pressure more evenly, which minimizes the risk of dural trauma compared to cutting-tip needles such as the Quincke design.
The Whitacre tip is slightly more conical than similar pencil point designs like the Sprotte, aiding in precise penetration and facilitating the controlled flow of anesthetic solution. Its atraumatic profile also contributes to a lower incidence of post-dural puncture headache, making it a preferred choice among clinicians.
