BD Quincke Spinal Needles

BD Quincke Spinal Needles

• They are available in different sizes with lengths ranging from 90 mm to 178 mm and gauges from 18 G to 27 G. The key/slot arrangement of stylet and cannula hubs on the BD Quincke spinal needles facilitates proper needle bevel orientation.
• With BD spinal needles that enable visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), aiding proper needle placement.
• BD Quincke Spinal Needles are medical devices specifically designed for performing spinal anesthesia and lumbar punctures. They are named after Dr. Hubert Quincke, who introduced the design of this type of spinal needle.
• Design: BD Quincke Spinal Needles have a unique design characterized by a sharply beveled needle tip and a special cutting edge on the side of the needle. This design allows for precise puncture of the dura mater (the outermost protective covering of the spinal cord), facilitating the collection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or the administration of anesthetic medication.
• Gauge and Length: BD Quincke Spinal Needles are available in various gauges and lengths to accommodate different patient needs and procedural requirements. The gauge represents the thickness of the needle, where a higher number indicates a thinner needle. Common gauge sizes for spinal needles range from 25G to 29G. The length of the needle can vary, but typical lengths range from 90mm to 120mm.
• Hub Design: BD Quincke Spinal Needles are equipped with a hub that allows for easy attachment to a syringe or other medical devices. The hub may have color-coded markings for quick identification of the needle gauge.
• Introducer Stylet: Some BD Quincke Spinal Needles come with an introducer stylet. This stylet can be inserted into the needle to provide additional stiffness and stability during the insertion process. Once the needle is correctly positioned, the stylet is removed, allowing for CSF collection or anesthetic administration.
• Sterility: BD Quincke Spinal Needles are sterilized and intended for single-use only. Following proper aseptic techniques and disposal guidelines is crucial to prevent infection and ensure patient safety.
