An epidural needle is a needle used in a nonsurgical procedure to inject an anesthetic and / or medication into the epidural space of the spine. That space is between the vertebrae — the bones of the spinal column — and the dura mater, a thick membrane covering the spinal cord. It is similar to a hypodermic needle in that it has a hallow core; however, while a hypodermic needle has a straight, sharply piercing tip, the epidural needle has a tip that is curved, blunt, and slightly splayed. While each type of needle can be attached to a plastic or glass syringe with volume markings in cubic centimeters (cc), an epidural needle has length markings every 0.40 inch (1 cm) on the needle itself, to clearly show its depth of penetration.

Epidural anaesthetic needle  along with an extensive selection of sizes, styles and features to meet any application, you are also assured meticulous construction and reliability.

• Stylet

• With lug to indicate bevel orientation
• Stainless steel or plastic

• Needle

• The heel of the bevel is smoothed to reduce the risk of cutting the epidural catheter
• Needle/stylet fit together perfectly to give a completely smooth bevel surface and minimize coring of the skinand subcutaneous tissues
• Centimetre graduations
• Extra-long needles available for obese patients

•  Hub

•   Transparent to visualise any fluid reflux

• Precision ground, matched stylets to help reduce the risk of tissue coring

• Convenient 1cm depth markings making it easier to observe and control the exact depth of insertion

• Polished inner bevel to smooth the edge and help minimize the risk of catheter shearing

•  Clear polycarbonate hubs to offer easy visualization of blood or CSF

•  Fixed wings on most needles providing a stable surface for your fingers

• Hourglass-shaped, ridged hub, offering ergonomic placement of your fingers

• Caudal epidural injection. Lateral view. Injection of radio-contrast dye confirms that the tip of the needle is in the caudal epidural space.

• (A) Interlaminar lumbar epidural injection. An 18 G Tuohy needle is directed to the right to treat right-sided symptoms.

• (B) Lumbar interlaminar epidural injection. Contrast spread seen on the symptomatic right side

• (A) Lumbar transforaminal epidural injection at L4/5 and L5/S1 levels. The tip of the 22 G needle is positioned below the pedicle lateral to the 6º clock position of the L4 pedicle. Contrast injection shows the dye spreading into the epidural space and along the L4 nerve root.

• (B) Lumbar transforaminal epidural injection at L4/5 and L5/S1 levels. Contrast spread is seen on the right side of the epidural space and along the right L4 and L5 nerve roots.
