• 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:

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.
