Description

The Weiss-Style Tuohy Epidural Needle, 18G x 3.5" is specifically designed for the safe and accurate administration of epidural anesthesia. Its 18-gauge size and 3.5-inch length provide sufficient reach for epidural space access in adult patients while maintaining optimal control and precision during insertion. The needle’s construction ensures durability and reliable performance in clinical settings.

The needle includes 10 mm depth markings along its shaft, offering visual guidance for accurate placement within the epidural space. These markings assist clinicians in monitoring insertion depth, reducing the risk of improper placement and enhancing procedural safety. The clear indicators support consistent technique across diverse patient populations.

A winged luer-lock hub is integrated with a stylet, facilitating secure connection to syringes and infusion devices. The buffed heel design further improves safety by minimizing tissue trauma during insertion and providing a smooth interface for handling. The combination of features enhances both clinician control and patient comfort during epidural anesthesia administration.
