BD 406015 - 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, Sodium Chloride, and Clear Drape

BD 406015 - 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, Sodium Chloride, and Clear Drape

The BD 406015 Epidural Tray is a sterile, single-use procedural tray designed to support epidural anesthesia placement in professional healthcare environments. 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, Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent 10 mL, and a clear drape.

This tray is configured to give anesthesia teams the essential components needed for a standardized epidural setup. 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 through standard loss-of-resistance technique.

Key Benefits

The BD 406015 Epidural Tray helps improve procedural efficiency by consolidating commonly used epidural supplies into one organized sterile tray. This reduces preparation time, limits the need to pull separate components from multiple supply areas, and helps maintain a consistent workflow in busy clinical settings.

The sterile, single-use design supports infection prevention practices and helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients. The organized tray format also supports procedural readiness, allowing clinicians to focus on patient assessment, sterile technique, accurate needle placement, catheter advancement, and medication safety.

The included 5 mL Epilor glass LOR syringe provides tactile feedback during loss-of-resistance technique. The Perisafe nylon closed-end catheter is designed for epidural placement, while the included Lidocaine HCL 1 percent, Lidocaine HCL 1.5 percent with epinephrine, and Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent 10 mL support common procedural requirements when clinically appropriate and used according to facility protocol.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 406015 Epidural Tray is compatible with standard epidural anesthesia workflows performed by trained healthcare professionals. It supports procedures involving Tuohy epidural needle placement, loss-of-resistance identification, epidural catheter advancement, local anesthetic use, saline handling, and sterile field preparation.

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

Usage Guidelines

Use the BD 406015 Epidural Tray only by or under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals trained in neuraxial anesthesia procedures. Before opening the tray, verify the product code, expiration date, package integrity, medication labels, and patient-specific procedural requirements.

Prepare the patient, procedural site, and sterile field according to facility policy. Open the tray using sterile technique and use the included clear drape as appropriate to support sterile field control while maintaining visibility. Use the Tuohy epidural needle, Perisafe nylon catheter, 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 barrier is damaged, the packaging has been opened, the product is expired, or any component appears compromised. Dispose of used sharps, catheter materials, medication containers, and procedural waste in accordance with facility policy and applicable biomedical waste regulations.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 406015 Epidural Tray is manufactured for professional medical use and is intended to support sterile procedural practice in epidural anesthesia settings. Its sterile, single-use configuration helps facilities follow infection prevention standards when used according to product 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 406015 Epidural Tray provides a more organized and standardized procedural setup. This can help reduce setup time, improve supply consistency, and support predictable epidural workflows across anesthesia teams.

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 catheter, 5 mL Epilor glass LOR syringe, Lidocaine HCL 1 percent, Lidocaine HCL 1.5 percent with epinephrine, Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent 10 mL, and a clear drape. The glass LOR syringe may be preferred by clinicians who value tactile response during loss-of-resistance identification.

For facilities seeking a complete epidural tray with a Perisafe catheter, glass LOR syringe, included anesthetic components, saline, and sterile draping support, BD 406015 offers a practical balance of procedural readiness, clinical usability, and workflow efficiency.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 406015 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 requiring epidural access.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the BD 406015 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 medication components are appropriate for the patient. Follow facility protocols for patient identification, allergy screening, contraindication assessment, anticoagulation review, informed 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 406015 Epidural Tray is intended for professional clinical use only. Epidural anesthesia procedures require specialized training, careful patient evaluation, sterile technique, medication verification, and appropriate patient monitoring.

Clinicians should follow all applicable safety requirements for patient identification, allergy review, anticoagulation precautions, neurologic assessment, medication administration, 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.
