BD 406013 - Epidural Tray with 17G x 3.5 Inch Tuohy Needle, 19G x 36 Inch Perisafe Nylon Closed-End Catheter, 5 mL Epilor Glass LOR Syringe, Lidocaine, and Sodium Chloride

BD 406013 - Epidural Tray with 17G x 3.5 Inch Tuohy Needle, 19G x 36 Inch Perisafe Nylon Closed-End Catheter, 5 mL Epilor Glass LOR Syringe, Lidocaine, and Sodium Chloride

The BD 406013 Epidural Tray is a sterile, single-use procedural tray designed for epidural anesthesia placement in professional healthcare settings. This tray includes a 17G x 3.5 inch Tuohy epidural needle, a 19G x 36 inch Perisafe nylon closed-end epidural catheter, a 5 mL Epilor glass loss-of-resistance syringe with Luer slip glass tip, Lidocaine HCL 1 percent 5 mL, Lidocaine HCL 1.5 percent with epinephrine 1:200,000 5 mL, and Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent.

This tray provides anesthesia teams with an organized set of essential epidural placement components in one ready-to-use configuration. The Tuohy epidural needle supports controlled access to the epidural space, the Perisafe nylon catheter supports continued medication delivery after placement, and the glass Epilor LOR syringe assists clinicians in identifying the epidural space using standard loss-of-resistance technique.

Key Benefits

The BD 406013 Epidural Tray helps improve procedural efficiency by consolidating commonly needed epidural supplies into one sterile tray. This reduces time spent gathering separate components and supports a more consistent setup for anesthesia teams working in operating rooms, labor and delivery units, surgical centers, and procedural care areas.

The sterile, single-use format supports infection prevention practices and helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients. The included 17G Tuohy needle and 19G closed-end nylon catheter are designed for standard epidural workflows, while the 5 mL Epilor glass LOR syringe provides tactile feedback during loss-of-resistance identification.

The inclusion of Lidocaine HCL 1 percent, Lidocaine HCL 1.5 percent with epinephrine, and Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent supports common procedural needs when clinically appropriate and used according to facility protocol. By standardizing key components, the tray helps promote procedural readiness, supply consistency, and clinician confidence.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 406013 Epidural Tray is compatible with standard epidural anesthesia techniques performed by trained healthcare professionals. It supports workflows involving Tuohy epidural needle placement, loss-of-resistance confirmation, catheter insertion, local anesthetic use, and saline-assisted procedural steps.

This tray is commonly used in hospitals, labor and delivery units, operating rooms, surgical centers, anesthesia departments, pain management settings, and procedural care suites. Typical applications may include epidural placement for labor analgesia, surgical anesthesia support, postoperative pain management, and selected pain control procedures based on patient needs and provider judgment.

Usage Guidelines

Use the BD 406013 Epidural Tray only by or under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals trained in neuraxial anesthesia procedures. Before use, verify the product code, expiration date, package integrity, medication labels, and all patient-specific procedural requirements.

Prepare the patient and procedural site according to institutional policy. Open the tray using sterile technique and maintain a sterile field throughout the procedure. Use the Tuohy epidural needle, Perisafe nylon closed-end catheter, 5 mL Epilor glass LOR syringe, lidocaine, lidocaine with epinephrine, and sodium chloride only as directed by manufacturer labeling, clinical protocols, and professional judgment.

Do not use the tray if the sterile package is damaged, opened, expired, or if any component appears compromised. Dispose of used sharps, catheter materials, medication containers, and procedural waste according to facility policy and applicable biomedical waste regulations.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 406013 Epidural Tray is manufactured for professional medical use and is intended to support sterile procedural practice in epidural anesthesia settings. Its single-use sterile configuration helps facilities maintain infection control standards when used in accordance with labeling and institutional procedures.

Healthcare facilities should verify current product labeling, medication dating, regulatory status, and compliance documentation through BD, CIA Medical, or authorized product documentation before clinical use. Certification details, regulatory clearances, and approval status may vary by market, product configuration, and distribution channel.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with sourcing epidural components individually, the BD 406013 Epidural Tray provides a more organized and standardized procedural setup. This can help reduce preparation time, improve supply consistency, and support smoother anesthesia workflows.

Compared with basic epidural trays that may include fewer components, this configuration includes a 17G x 3.5 inch Tuohy epidural needle, 19G x 36 inch Perisafe nylon closed-end epidural catheter, 5 mL Epilor glass LOR syringe, lidocaine options, and sodium chloride. The glass LOR syringe may be preferred by clinicians who value tactile feel during loss-of-resistance technique.

For facilities seeking a reliable epidural tray with a Perisafe nylon closed-end catheter and glass LOR syringe, BD 406013 offers a practical balance of procedural readiness, component organization, and clinical usability.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 406013 Epidural Tray include anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesia residents, labor and delivery clinicians, pain management physicians, surgical teams, and other trained healthcare professionals involved in epidural procedures.

This tray is especially relevant in clinical environments where epidural placement is performed regularly and where consistent access to sterile, procedure-ready components is important. Common scenarios include labor epidural placement, surgical anesthesia support, postoperative analgesia, and selected pain management procedures.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the BD 406013 Epidural Tray in a clean, dry, temperature-controlled medical supply area. Keep the tray sealed in its original packaging until ready for use and rotate inventory by expiration date to maintain product readiness.

Before beginning the procedure, confirm that the tray contents match the intended clinical use and that all medications are appropriate for the patient. Follow facility protocols for allergy screening, anticoagulation review, contraindication assessment, patient consent, site preparation, and monitoring.

Maintain strict aseptic technique during setup, needle placement, catheter advancement, medication handling, and post-procedure management. Do not reuse, resterilize, or reprocess any component from the tray. After the procedure, place sharps in approved sharps containers and dispose of all medical waste according to institutional and regulatory requirements.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 406013 Epidural Tray is intended for professional clinical use only. Epidural anesthesia procedures require specialized training, careful patient assessment, sterile technique, and appropriate post-procedure monitoring.

Clinicians should follow applicable safety requirements for patient identification, informed consent, medication verification, allergy review, anticoagulation precautions, neurologic assessment, aseptic technique, sharps safety, and biomedical waste disposal. The product should be used only in accordance with BD labeling, facility policy, and applicable federal, state, and local healthcare regulations.
