Description
The Whitacre Spinal Needle, 27G x 3.5", is a precision-designed instrument utilized in spinal block procedures. Engineered with a fine 27-gauge diameter and a length of 3.5 inches, it allows accurate access to the subarachnoid space while minimizing patient trauma. Its construction supports smooth insertion, reducing the risk of complications associated with traditional cutting needles.
The pencil point design of the Whitacre needle is a defining feature, intended to separate rather than cut the dural fibers. This helps decrease the incidence of post-dural puncture headache, a common concern in spinal anesthesia. The slightly conical tip ensures controlled placement, enhancing both safety and effectiveness during regional anesthesia techniques.
Made from high-quality stainless steel, the needle maintains strength and durability while offering tactile feedback during insertion. The transparent hub provides clear visualization of cerebrospinal fluid upon successful entry, aiding the clinician in confirming correct placement. Each unit is sterile and individually packaged to maintain safety standards.
