The BD 406037 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 Weiss epidural needle, a 19G x 36 inch polyamide nylon bullet tip closed-end catheter, a plastic 7 mL Epilor loss-of-resistance syringe, 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 configuration brings essential epidural placement supplies together in one organized tray, helping anesthesia teams prepare efficiently while supporting sterile technique. The Tuohy Weiss epidural needle assists with access to the epidural space, the closed-end nylon catheter supports continued medication delivery after placement, and the plastic Epilor LOR syringe is used to help identify the epidural space through standard loss-of-resistance technique.

Key Benefits

The BD 406037 Epidural Tray helps improve procedural efficiency by reducing the need to gather multiple epidural components separately. Its organized tray format supports faster setup, more consistent preparation, and better workflow standardization in operating rooms, labor and delivery units, and procedural care areas.

The sterile, single-use design supports infection control practices and helps reduce the risk of cross-contamination between patients. By providing a complete epidural setup with needle, catheter, LOR syringe, anesthetic components, saline, and drape, the tray helps clinicians maintain focus during procedures where accuracy and sterility are essential.

The included 7 mL plastic Epilor LOR syringe provides a lightweight option for loss-of-resistance technique, while the clear drape supports visibility during sterile field preparation. The combination of Lidocaine HCL 1 percent, Lidocaine HCL 1.5 percent with epinephrine, and Sodium Chloride 0.9 percent supports common epidural procedure requirements when clinically appropriate and used according to facility protocol.

Compatibility and Applications

The BD 406037 Epidural Tray is designed for compatibility with standard epidural anesthesia workflows performed by trained healthcare professionals. It supports common neuraxial anesthesia techniques involving Tuohy needle placement, loss-of-resistance confirmation, catheter advancement, and sterile field maintenance.

This tray is typically used in hospitals, surgical centers, obstetric units, anesthesia departments, pain management settings, and procedural care areas. Common applications may include epidural placement for labor analgesia, surgical anesthesia support, postoperative pain management, and selected pain control procedures, depending on patient needs and clinical judgment.

Usage Guidelines

Use the BD 406037 Epidural Tray only by or under the supervision of qualified healthcare professionals trained in epidural procedures. Before use, confirm the product code, expiration date, package integrity, medication labels, and procedural requirements.

Prepare the patient and procedure site according to institutional policy. Open the tray using sterile technique and establish the sterile field with the included clear drape. Use the Tuohy Weiss epidural needle, plastic Epilor LOR syringe, nylon closed-end catheter, lidocaine, lidocaine with epinephrine, and sodium chloride only as directed by manufacturer labeling, clinical protocols, and provider judgment.

Do not use the tray if the sterile barrier is damaged, if the packaging has been opened, or if any medication or component appears compromised. Dispose of sharps, catheter materials, medication containers, and procedural waste according to facility policy and applicable biomedical waste requirements.

Certifications and Safety Standards

The BD 406037 Epidural Tray is manufactured for professional medical use and is intended to support sterile procedural practice in epidural anesthesia settings. As a sterile, single-use tray, it helps facilities maintain infection prevention standards when used according to labeling and institutional procedures.

Healthcare facilities should verify current product labeling, regulatory status, medication dating, 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 purchasing epidural components individually, the BD 406037 Epidural Tray provides a convenient, standardized, and organized procedural setup. This can reduce preparation time, improve supply consistency, and support predictable workflows across anesthesia teams.

Compared with basic epidural trays, this configuration offers a more complete procedural package by including the Tuohy Weiss epidural needle, 19G x 36 inch nylon closed-end catheter, plastic 7 mL Epilor LOR syringe, local anesthetic options, saline, and clear drape. The clear drape may be preferred in settings where improved visual access to the procedural field is useful.

Compared with epidural trays that use a glass LOR syringe, the plastic Epilor syringe provides a lightweight alternative while still supporting standard loss-of-resistance technique. For facilities seeking procedural readiness, component consistency, and practical setup efficiency, BD 406037 is a strong option for epidural anesthesia workflows.

Typical User Profile and Application Scenarios

The typical users of the BD 406037 Epidural Tray include anesthesiologists, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesia residents, labor and delivery clinicians, pain management physicians, and surgical care teams. It may also be selected by hospital purchasing departments, operating room supply managers, and anesthesia department leaders responsible for standardizing procedural supplies.

This tray is most effective in clinical environments where epidural procedures are performed regularly and where sterile, organized access to essential components is important. Typical scenarios include labor epidural placement, perioperative anesthesia support, postoperative analgesia planning, and selected pain management procedures.

Best Practices for Use and Maintenance

Store the BD 406037 Epidural Tray in a clean, dry, temperature-controlled medical supply area. Keep the tray sealed in its original packaging until the time of use and rotate inventory by expiration date to maintain product readiness.

Before beginning the procedure, verify that the tray contents match the planned clinical use and that all medications are appropriate for the patient. Screen for allergies, contraindications, anticoagulation concerns, and other patient-specific risks according to institutional policy before epidural placement.

Maintain strict aseptic technique throughout preparation, needle placement, catheter insertion, and medication handling. Do not reuse, resterilize, or reprocess any component from the tray. After the procedure, dispose of all used materials in accordance with sharps safety, medication waste, and biomedical waste protocols.

Regulatory and Safety Information

The BD 406037 Epidural Tray is intended for professional clinical use only. Epidural procedures require appropriate training, clinical judgment, sterile technique, and patient monitoring. The product should be used only in accordance with BD labeling, facility policies, and applicable healthcare regulations.

Clinicians should follow all relevant safety procedures, including patient identification, informed consent practices, medication verification, site preparation, allergy review, aseptic technique, neurologic monitoring, and post-procedure observation. Facilities should also follow applicable federal, state, and local regulations for sharps handling, medication administration, and medical waste disposal.
