Key Features:

• Needle Tip Designs:

  • Quincke (Cutting Tip): Features a sharp bevel that cuts through tissues, commonly used for diagnostic lumbar punctures.
  • Pencil Point (Atraumatic Tip): Designed to separate rather than cut dural fibers, reducing the risk of post-dural puncture headaches.

• Hub Design:

  • Transparent polycarbonate hubs allow for easy visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flashback, confirming accurate needle placement.

• Stylet:

  • A snugly fitting stylet prevents tissue coring during insertion.
