High-Precision 22G 25G 27G Spinal Needle for Disposable Sterile Syringe in Spinal Block Procedures

High-Precision Quincke Tip and Pencil Point Spinal Needle for Spinal Block Procedures

The high-precision Quincke tip and pencil-point spinal needle is a specialized medical instrument used for spinal block procedures, including epidural and spinal anesthesia. This needle is designed to minimize trauma, increase accuracy, and ensure a smooth and safe method for both patients and healthcare providers. Featuring both Quincke and Pencil Point tips, this needle meets diverse clinical needs while maintaining exceptional performance across a variety of spinal procedures. The following is an in-depth look at its advantages, specifications, uses, and more.

Specifications

• Needle Length: Available in various lengths (e.g., 3.5 cm, 5 cm, 7 cm) to accommodate different patient anatomies and procedure types.
• Needle Gauge: Typically offered in gauges 22G, 25G, and 27G, allowing for both high and low gauge options depending on the procedure and desired comfort levels.
• Material: Made from high-quality stainless steel for superior strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
• Tip Design:
• Quincke Tip: Sharp, beveled cutting edge, ideal for easy penetration into the dura mater.
• Pencil Point Tip: Rounded tip, reduces tissue trauma and minimizes patient discomfort.
• Packaging: Sterilized and individually packaged in a blister pack for single-use to maintain sterility.
• Color Coding: Each gauge size is color-coded for easy identification and selection during procedures.

Advantages of the Quincke Tip and Pencil Point Spinal Needle

1. Minimizes Patient Discomfort
   The needle's Pencil Point design significantly reduces the risk of causing unnecessary damage to surrounding tissue and nerves, leading to less discomfort during the insertion. It’s ideal for patients who require epidural anesthesia for pain management, as it promotes smoother insertion and minimizes the potential for post-procedure complications.

2. Precision in Spinal Block Procedures
   The Quincke Tip is specifically designed for optimal cutting and precision, making it perfect for procedures like spinal anesthesia. This sharp, beveled edge allows for easy penetration into the dura mater with minimal resistance, improving the speed and accuracy of the insertion process.

3. Low Trauma & Reduced Complications
   Both the Quincke and Pencil Point tips are engineered to reduce trauma during needle insertion. The Pencil Point design ensures that tissue disruption is kept to a minimum, reducing the likelihood of complications such as post-dural puncture headaches (PDPH). By combining these two advanced tip designs, the needle offers a balanced solution for different spinal procedures.

4. Safety and Sterility
   Each needle is meticulously sterilized and individually packaged to ensure maximum safety and hygiene. This feature is critical for preventing infections and ensuring patient safety during spinal procedures.

​Uses and Applications

Spinal Anesthesia: Commonly used during surgeries such as cesarean sections, orthopedic procedures, and lower limb surgeries. The Quincke tip ensures a smooth and quick entry into the dura mater, reducing patient discomfort.

Epidural Anesthesia: Employed for labor pain management, chronic pain control, and post-surgical pain relief. The Pencil Point design allows for precise insertion while minimizing trauma to the epidural space.

Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap): Used for diagnostic purposes to collect cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or administer contrast agents for imaging studies. The precision offered by both tip designs makes it an excellent choice for this delicate procedure.

Material Differences

The High-Precision Quincke Tip and Pencil Point Spinal Needle is typically constructed from high-grade stainless steel, known for its strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. This material ensures the needle remains durable during insertion and provides consistent performance throughout the procedure. The stainless steel construction also guarantees that the needle remains sterile until its use and reduces the risk of infection.

The difference in the tip design – Quincke versus Pencil Point – largely affects the interaction with the patient’s tissues. The Quincke tip’s beveled edge is sharp and effective for cutting, making it perfect for procedures where penetration is crucial. On the other hand, the Pencil Point tip’s rounded shape reduces the cutting force, minimizing tissue trauma and providing a more comfortable experience for patients, especially in sensitive areas such as the epidural space.

​

Q1: What is the difference between the Quincke Tip and the Pencil Point design?
The Quincke Tip features a sharp, beveled edge that is ideal for cutting through tissue, making it highly effective for spinal anesthesia. On the other hand, the Pencil Point design has a rounded, atraumatic tip that minimizes tissue damage during insertion, making it more suitable for epidural procedures where minimizing pain and discomfort is critical.

Q2: What are the primary uses of this spinal needle?
This needle is most commonly used for spinal block procedures, including spinal anesthesia, epidural anesthesia, and lumbar punctures. It is employed in a variety of clinical settings, such as surgery, pain management, and diagnostic procedures.

Q3: Is this needle safe for all patients?
The Quincke Tip and Pencil Point Spinal Needle is designed for use in adult patients who require spinal or epidural anesthesia. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for any specific contraindications, such as severe spinal deformities or allergies to materials used in the needle.

Q4: How does the needle minimize the risk of post-dural puncture headaches (PDPH)?
The Pencil Point design reduces the risk of PDPH by causing less disruption to the dura mater during insertion. The smooth, atraumatic tip minimizes the likelihood of creating a large opening, which is a primary cause of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks leading to headaches.

Q5: Can this needle be used for both adult and pediatric patients?
The High-Precision Quincke Tip and Pencil Point Spinal Needle is typically designed for adult use. For pediatric patients, a smaller gauge or different needle type may be more appropriate, depending on the procedure and the child’s anatomy.
