Description:
The BD Whitacre Spinal Needle is a premium pencil-point instrument engineered for spinal anesthesia and diagnostic lumbar punctures. Its pencil-point Whitacre tip gently parts dural fibers—significantly lowering the risk of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH)—while delivering a distinct tactile “pop” upon dural penetration. The high-flow design, including a precision side port and translucent window hub, enables fast cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow visualization and directional anesthetic delivery. Crafted from sturdy stainless steel, it resists bending, and the color-coded, single-use hub supports prompt gauge identification and sterile performance in fast-paced environments.
Key Features:
-
Pencil-Point Whitacre Tip – Splits rather than cuts dura, reducing PDPH risk.
-
High-Flow Design – Offers rapid CSF flashback and discernible tactile feedback.
-
Precision Side Port – Ensures controlled, directional drug administration and limits “straddling” of dura.
-
Translucent Window Hub – Enhances real-time CSF detection and accuracy.
-
Robust Stainless Steel Shaft – Resists bending, tracks well through tissue, and maintains structural integrity
