BD 405138 - Spinal Needle, 25G x 3.5", High Flow, Blue Precision Needle for Safe and Efficient Spinal Anesthesia, (50/CS)

The BD 405138 High-Flow Spinal Needle is a 25-gauge, 3.5-inch (90mm) sterile needle engineered for precise, reliable spinal anesthesia and diagnostic lumbar puncture procedures. Its high-flow design improves cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) return, enabling faster confirmation of intrathecal placement and efficient medication delivery. The needles blue hub and clear markings support easy identification during clinical use, while BDs strict manufacturing standards ensure exceptional sharpness, stability, and patient comfort.

Key Benefits

This spinal needle features an ultra-sharp, precision-ground bevel that reduces insertion resistance and minimizes patient discomfort. The high-flow lumen allows rapid CSF flashback and smoother anesthetic administration. The color-coded blue hub simplifies gauge recognition, improving workflow efficiency. BDs reliable construction ensures consistent performance, reduced deflection, and dependable intrathecal access.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 405138 spinal needle is fully compatible with:

• Standard spinal introducers
• Luer-compatible syringes for medication delivery
• Spinal anesthesia kits and diagnostic lumbar puncture sets

Common clinical applications include:

• Spinal anesthesia for surgical procedures
• Diagnostic lumbar puncture for CSF collection
• Intrathecal drug administration
• Pain management interventions as clinically indicated

Usage Guidelines

Prepare the puncture site using sterile technique. Insert the spinal needle according to clinical protocol while monitoring patient positioning. Confirm CSF flow through the high-flow lumen before medication administration. Once complete, withdraw the needle carefully and apply appropriate dressing. Dispose of the needle immediately in a certified sharps container.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals

BD spinal needles are produced under ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified manufacturing systems. The needle meets FDA and CE requirements for sterile, single-use medical devices. Each lot undergoes rigorous QC testing for sterility, bevel sharpness, lumen patency, and structural integrity.

Comparison with Competitor Products

Unlike generic spinal needles that may exhibit variable sharpness or slower CSF return, BDs high-flow design enhances fluid movement and reduces waiting time. The consistent bevel geometry ensures smooth tissue penetration, while the sturdy construction minimizes needle flex. BDs quality standards provide higher reliability and comfort compared with many off-brand options.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The BD 405138 spinal needle is widely used by:

• Anesthesiologists performing spinal blocks
• Emergency and critical care teams
• Neurology and diagnostic specialists conducting lumbar punctures
• Surgical units requiring intrathecal anesthesia
• Outpatient and ambulatory surgical centers

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Maintain strict aseptic technique throughout spinal procedures. Ensure proper patient positioning to reduce insertion resistance and enhance success. Do not advance the needle against resistancere-evaluate alignment if necessary. Store needles in a temperature-stable, contamination-free environment. Do not reuse or re-sterilize.

Regulatory and Safety Information

Single-use device. For intrathecal procedures only. Follow institutional infection control and sharps-handling policies. Dispose of the needle immediately after use in an approved sharps container. Handle all body fluids according to OSHA and facility guidelines.
