BD 405149. - Spinal Needle 22G x 7" Long-Length, Sterile, Single-Use Needle for Deep Spinal and Epidural Access, 5 BX/CS

The BD 405149 Long-Length Spinal Needle is a precision-engineered 22-gauge x 7-inch (178 mm) sterile, single-use needle designed for procedures requiring deeper spinal or epidural access. Manufactured by BD (Becton, Dickinson and Company), this high-quality spinal needle delivers consistent performance and depth control for healthcare professionals performing diagnostic lumbar punctures, spinal anesthesia, or epidural injections in patients with increased anatomical depth.

Its extra-long length and fine-gauge profile enable clinicians to safely and accurately reach the subarachnoid space or epidural area in more challenging patient anatomies, while maintaining patient comfort and procedural confidence.

Key Product Features

Product Packaging Information

Key Benefits:

• Extended 7-Inch Length: Allows deep access for spinal procedures in patients with higher BMI or atypical spinal anatomy.

• 22-Gauge Needle: Provides an ideal balance of rigidity and reduced tissue trauma.

• Sterile and Single-Use: Minimizes contamination risks, ensuring patient safety.

• Smooth Bevel Design: Enhances precision and reduces insertion resistance.

• Clear Hub Construction: Offers optimal visibility of cerebrospinal fluid return during lumbar puncture.

Compatibility and Applications:
Compatible with standard spinal introducer kits and syringes, this spinal needle is commonly used in:

• Hospitals and surgical centers

• Pain management clinics

• Neurology and anesthesiology departments

• OB/GYN and labor units for spinal/epidural blocks

Clinical applications include:

• Lumbar punctures for cerebrospinal fluid collection

• Spinal anesthesia or analgesia

• Intrathecal chemotherapy administration

• Epidural steroid or anesthetic injections in patients with deeper anatomical positioning

Usage Guidelines:

• Ensure the procedure is performed under sterile technique by a qualified provider.

• Insert the needle slowly and carefully along the midline, advancing to appropriate depth.

• Monitor for cerebrospinal fluid return or epidural placement confirmation.

• Upon completion, dispose of the needle immediately in a designated sharps container.

Always refer to institutional guidelines or BDs usage instructions for optimal safety and accuracy.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals:

• FDA Approved for spinal procedures in the United States

• CE Marked for European compliance

• ISO 13485 Certified manufacturing process

• Latex-Free and DEHP-Free materials to support sensitive patient use

• ASTM-compliant for spinal access devices

These certifications validate the needles safety, sterility, and performance for critical procedures in high-risk environments.

Comparison with Competitor Products:
The BD 405149 Long-Length Spinal Needle offers unique advantages over standard or shorter needles:

• Extended reach (7") provides access in patients where standard 3.5" or 5" needles are insufficient

• Superior bevel finish and barrel strength reduce buckling risk and insertion discomfort

• Transparent hub with optimized fluid visibility improves procedural feedback

• BD reliability and quality assurance backed by global clinical adoption

Many competitor needles do not combine extended length with BDs level of smooth insertion and visual control, which can impact procedural success in challenging cases.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios:
Used by:

• Anesthesiologists, neurologists, and pain specialists

• OB/GYN anesthetic teams during C-sections or labor analgesia

• Surgeons or radiologists during fluoroscopy-guided spinal injections

• Hospital staff in critical care or emergency lumbar puncture scenarios

Ideal in scenarios such as:

• Spinal procedures in obese or bariatric patients

• Recurrent epidural failures due to depth limitations

• Oncology patients requiring intrathecal drug delivery

• Research and diagnostic settings with precise fluid collection needs

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance:

• Store in original sterile packaging until time of use

• Confirm patient positioning to optimize spinal access

• Use slow, controlled insertion to reduce risk of trauma

• Always verify needle tip placement using clinical or imaging confirmation

• Dispose in sharps container immediately post-use; never reuse

Regulatory and Safety Information:
The BD 405149 adheres to all safety regulations and guidelines for spinal and epidural access devices, including OSHA sharps protocols and CDC infection prevention standards. Its single-use design, long-length reach, and premium material construction make it a trusted solution for advanced procedures.
