TYPES OF SPINAL NEEDLES
AKUS Spinal includes Whitacre pencil-point spinal needles available in 22G, 23G, 25G, 26G, and 27G gauges.
Quincke : 22G, 25G, 26G, and 27G.
They are made of high-strength surgical steel that provides an extraordinary balance between tenacity and deflection, preventing the deformation of the needle even when patients undergo a very complex puncture.
The tip of the needle has a larger hole, which provides a high CSF output flow, obtaining a quick view of the CSF.
The AKUS needles’ connection cone has a new design that facilitates a perfect fit of Luer-lock and Luer-slip syringes. Such a precise fit prevents unwanted leakage of anaesthetic solution, even at high infusion pressures.
The larger tip hole facilitates the administration and distribution of drugs within the subarachnoid space.
PREPARE THE NEEDLE TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS: VERSATILITY TO THE FULLEST.
The AKUS® plexus-blocking needle has a detachable neurostimulation cable connection system, which makes it possible to connect the needle in any desired position. If the anaesthetist does not require stimulation, the power cord does not need to be connected.
The possibility of connecting the syringe directly to the needle enables to perform the anaesthetic technique without the need for another person, which is very useful in some circumstances. If assistance is needed, just connect the extender included with each needle.
Available in various sizes according to the needs and type of block: 50 mm, 70 mm, 90 mm, in gauges of 22G and 21G; and 140 mm in 21G.
