Description

The Tuohy Epidural Needle, 18G x 5", is a precision-engineered medical device designed for use in both single-shot and continuous epidural procedures. Its structure ensures accurate placement within the epidural space, supporting reliable delivery of anesthetics or analgesics in surgical and pain management applications. The 18-gauge diameter provides an optimal balance between flow efficiency and control, while the 5-inch length accommodates a wide range of patient anatomies.

The needle features a curved, non-cutting tip designed to reduce the risk of dural puncture and to facilitate smooth advancement into the epidural space. This specialized tip design allows for precise catheter placement while minimizing patient trauma. The needle is manufactured under strict quality standards to ensure consistency, safety, and dependable performance in clinical practice.

Removable wings are included to provide stability during insertion, allowing practitioners improved grip and control throughout the procedure. A transparent plastic hub enhances visibility, enabling accurate identification of fluid or air during placement. These design elements work together to enhance procedural efficiency and patient safety.
