Key Product Features

Product Packaging Information

Key Benefits:

• 22G Diameter: Minimizes post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) risk while allowing sufficient fluid flow.

• 3-Inch Length: Standard size for most adult lumbar puncture and spinal anesthesia procedures.

• Sharp Beveled Tip: Designed for smooth penetration with minimal tissue disruption.

• Clear Hub Construction: Allows easy visual confirmation of CSF return.

• Sterile, Single-Use, and Latex-Free: Ensures patient safety and compliance with infection control protocols.

Compatibility and Applications:
This spinal needle is compatible with:

• Luer Lock syringes for CSF aspiration or anesthetic injection

• Standard spinal procedure kits

• Introducer systems (if required for certain patient anatomies)

Common applications include:

• Spinal anesthesia for C-sections, orthopedic, or lower abdominal surgery

• Diagnostic lumbar punctures for meningitis, multiple sclerosis, or elevated intracranial pressure evaluation

• Intrathecal chemotherapy delivery

• CSF sampling in neurology or infectious disease departments

Usage Guidelines:

• Open the sterile packaging immediately before use.

• Use aseptic technique and position the patient in lateral decubitus or sitting posture.

• Insert the needle carefully in the lumbar region using anatomical landmarks.

• Monitor for CSF flow through the clear hub; once flow is confirmed, proceed with aspiration or medication delivery.

• Withdraw the needle and dispose of immediately in an approved sharps container.

Always follow institutional protocols and BDs clinical recommendations for spinal needle procedures.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals:

• FDA Approved for use in spinal access procedures in the U.S.

• CE Marked for European regulatory compliance

• ISO 13485 Certified manufacturing for medical device safety and quality

• ASTM-compliant for spinal needle design

• Latex-Free and DEHP-Free to prevent allergic reactions

These certifications ensure that the BD 405181 meets stringent safety and performance criteria.
