BD 406035 - Epidural Tray with 17G x 3.5 Inch Tuohy Weiss Needle, 19G x 36 Inch Nylon Closed-End Catheter, Glass LOR Syringe, Lidocaine, Sodium Chloride, and Blue Drape, 10/CS

The BD 406035 Epidural Tray is a comprehensive sterile procedural tray designed to support epidural anesthesia placement in hospital, surgical, obstetric, and pain management settings. This tray includes a 17G x 3.5 inch Tuohy Weiss epidural needle, a 19G x 36 inch polyamide nylon bullet tip closed-end catheter, a 5 mL glass loss-of-resistance syringe with metal 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 blue drape for sterile field preparation.

The tray is designed to bring essential epidural placement components together in a single organized kit, helping clinicians reduce setup time, maintain procedural consistency, and support sterile technique. Its configuration is especially useful for anesthesia teams that need reliable access to a Tuohy epidural needle, epidural catheter, LOR syringe, local anesthetic, saline, and draping materials in one ready-to-use package.

Product Overview

The BD 406035 Epidural Tray supports epidural access procedures where controlled needle placement, catheter introduction, and sterile preparation are critical. The 17G Tuohy Weiss epidural needle is designed to assist with epidural space access, while the 19G polyamide nylon bullet tip closed-end catheter supports medication delivery after placement.

The glass loss-of-resistance syringe with metal tip helps clinicians identify the epidural space using standard LOR technique. Included anesthetic and saline components support common procedural requirements, while the blue drape helps establish a controlled sterile field. This tray is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals in accordance with institutional protocols and manufacturer instructions.

Key Benefits

The BD 406035 Epidural Tray improves procedural efficiency by combining commonly required epidural placement supplies into one organized sterile tray. This reduces the need to gather individual components separately and helps support a smoother workflow in time-sensitive clinical environments.

The sterile, single-use tray design helps minimize contamination risk and supports infection control practices. By standardizing the components used during epidural procedures, the tray may also help improve consistency across anesthesia teams and procedural settings.

The inclusion of a glass LOR syringe with metal tip supports tactile feedback during epidural space identification. The 19G nylon closed-end catheter is designed for epidural placement and medication delivery, while the included local anesthetic and saline help support procedural preparation and confirmation steps.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 406035 Epidural Tray is intended for compatibility with standard epidural anesthesia workflows and commonly used epidural placement techniques. Its components are suitable for use with established anesthesia protocols involving Tuohy epidural needle placement, loss-of-resistance identification, and epidural catheter advancement.

This tray is typically used in labor and delivery units, operating rooms, surgical centers, anesthesia departments, pain management settings, and hospital procedural areas. It may be used in clinical situations requiring epidural anesthesia, regional anesthesia support, postoperative pain management, or labor analgesia, depending on physician judgment and facility protocol.

Usage Guidelines

Use the BD 406035 Epidural Tray only under the direction of trained and licensed healthcare professionals. Before opening the tray, confirm the product code, expiration date, package integrity, medication labels, and patient-specific procedural requirements.

Prepare the patient and sterile field according to institutional policy. Use the included blue drape and sterile components as appropriate for the procedure. The Tuohy Weiss epidural needle, LOR syringe, catheter, lidocaine, lidocaine with epinephrine, and sodium chloride should be used only according to approved clinical practice, manufacturer labeling, and facility guidelines.

Do not use the tray if the sterile barrier is damaged or if any component appears compromised. Dispose of all used sharps, medication containers, catheter materials, and procedural waste in accordance with facility policy and applicable biomedical waste regulations.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 406035 Epidural Tray is manufactured for professional medical use and should be handled in accordance with applicable healthcare safety standards, institutional sterile technique requirements, and medication administration policies. As a sterile single-use procedural tray, it supports infection prevention practices when used according to labeling and clinical protocol.

Facilities should verify current regulatory status, product labeling, medication dating, and compliance documentation through BD, CIA Medical, or authorized product documentation before purchase or clinical use. Regulatory approvals and certification details may vary based on market, product configuration, and distribution channel.

Comparison with Competitors

Compared with epidural supplies purchased individually, the BD 406035 Epidural Tray offers the advantage of an organized, ready-to-use procedural configuration. This can help reduce setup variability, improve supply availability, and support standardized epidural workflows across clinical teams.

Compared with basic epidural trays that may include fewer components, this tray provides a more complete setup with a Tuohy Weiss epidural needle, polyamide nylon closed-end catheter, glass LOR syringe, local anesthetic options, saline, and drape. The inclusion of both Lidocaine HCL 1 percent and Lidocaine HCL 1.5 percent with epinephrine provides procedural flexibility when clinically appropriate.

For facilities seeking consistency, convenience, and procedural readiness, the BD 406035 tray is a strong option for epidural anesthesia support in high-volume or protocol-driven environments.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 406035 Epidural Tray include anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesia residents, labor and delivery clinicians, surgical teams, and pain management professionals. It may also be selected by hospital procurement teams, operating room supply managers, and clinical department leaders responsible for anesthesia product standardization.

Common application scenarios include epidural placement for labor analgesia, surgical anesthesia support, postoperative pain control, and selected pain management procedures. The tray is most effective in settings where clinicians require organized access to sterile epidural components and medication support within a single procedural kit.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the BD 406035 Epidural Tray in a clean, dry, temperature-controlled medical supply area. Keep the tray in its original packaging until ready for use and rotate stock according to expiration date to reduce waste.

Before use, verify the tray contents against the planned procedure and confirm that all medication components are appropriate for the patient and clinical indication. Maintain strict aseptic technique throughout setup, needle placement, catheter advancement, and medication handling.

Because this is a single-use sterile tray, it should not be reused, resterilized, or reprocessed. All used components should be discarded safely after the procedure. Sharps should be placed immediately into approved sharps containers, and medication waste should be managed according to facility policy.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 406035 Epidural Tray is intended for professional clinical use only. Epidural procedures carry risks and should be performed only by qualified healthcare professionals with appropriate training in neuraxial anesthesia techniques.

Clinicians should follow all applicable patient assessment requirements, contraindication checks, allergy screening, anticoagulation precautions, medication verification steps, sterile technique standards, and post-procedure monitoring protocols. The product should be used only in accordance with BD labeling, institutional policies, and applicable federal, state, and local healthcare regulations.
