Key Product Features

Product Packaging Information

Key Benefits:

• 17G x 3.5" Length: Ideal for reaching the epidural space in most adult patients.

• Weiss Tip Design: Provides improved tactile feedback and directional control during insertion.

• Sterile & Single-Use: Minimizes infection risk and cross-contamination.

• Color-Coded Hub: Black-coded hub for easy gauge identification and workflow efficiency.

• Latex-Free and DEHP-Free: Safe for sensitive patients.

• Rigid, High-Quality Steel Cannula: Reduces deflection and enhances control.

Compatibility and Applications:
Compatible with:

• Standard epidural kits and loss-of-resistance syringes

• Catheter insertion systems for continuous epidural infusion

• Other BD spinal and anesthesia components

Commonly used in:

• Obstetric procedures (e.g., labor and delivery)

• Orthopedic and general surgery

• Pain management clinics

• Outpatient surgical centers and hospital ORs

Usage Guidelines:

• Inspect packaging for integrity before opening.

• Use aseptic technique during insertion.

• Position the patient appropriately (e.g., lateral decubitus or sitting).

• Insert needle at the desired vertebral level and identify the epidural space using the loss-of-resistance technique.

• Proceed with catheter placement or medication administration as per clinical protocol.

• Dispose of needle in an approved sharps container immediately after use.

• Do not recap, reuse, or attempt sterilization.

Certifications, Safety Standards, and Regulatory Approvals:

• FDA Cleared for epidural use in regional anesthesia

• CE Marked for international compliance

• Complies with ISO 7864 and ISO 9626 standards for medical needles

• Sterile, Latex-Free, DEHP-Free

• Manufactured under ISO 13485-certified quality systems

These certifications reinforce the BD 405191s compliance with the highest standards of medical safety and performance in anesthesiology.

Comparison with Competitor Products:
The BD 405191 Epidural Needle with Weiss tip stands out from standard epidural needles due to:

• Superior control and directional stability during needle advancement

• Enhanced feedback for more accurate location of the epidural space

• Trusted BD engineering, providing consistency across every box

• Color-coded identification, reducing procedural errors in fast-paced environments

Competitor models often lack the refined bevel design or steel quality needed for precision epidural procedures.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios:
Used by:

• Anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists (CRNAs)

• Obstetric and surgical care teams

• Pain management specialists

Application scenarios:

• Epidural analgesia during labor and childbirth

• Post-operative pain control after major surgery

• Chronic pain treatment involving continuous epidural infusions

• Emergency or elective surgical anesthesia

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance:

• Store in a sterile, controlled environment until use.

• Use only once per patient; never reuse or sterilize.

• Ensure proper training on Weiss tip handling and loss-of-resistance techniques.

• Monitor patients post-procedure for any signs of complications such as hypotension or infection.

• Follow all institutional protocols and OSHA guidelines for sharps handling and disposal.

Regulatory and Safety Information:
The BD 405191 is a Class II medical device, fully compliant with FDA, CE, and ISO regulatory requirements. It is clearly labeled as single-use, sterile, latex-free, and designed for professional use in regional anesthesia procedures.
