Disposable Atraumatic Spinal Needle
The disposable atraumatic spinal needle is used to access the fluid of the sac surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It is flexible, has a blunt tip, and may be left in place after use to drain fluid. Normal saline solution is injected through a small needle inserted into the barrel of the spinal needle. The aspirating spinal needle has a double lumen; one lumen contains the fluid aspirated and the other lumen is for injecting contrast medium.
The disposable atraumatic spinal needle is a needle that is used to puncture the spine in order to access the spinal cord. It is a thin, hollow needle that is inserted into the space between the vertebrae, and its tip is designed to cause minimal damage to the surrounding tissue. The needle is attached to a syringe, and when the plunger is depressed, a small amount of fluid is injected into the spinal cord. This helps to numb the area and makes it easier for the surgeon to access the spinal cord.
The Aspiration Needle is a disposable, atraumatic spinal needle that is used for the placement of epidural and subarachnoid catheters. It is also used for the removal of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the lumbar region of the spine. The Aspiration Needle has a beveled tip and a side port that allows for CSF aspiration. The Aspiration Needle is available in sizes 18G to 27G. The Disposable Atraumatic Spinal Needle is also a disposable, atraumatic spinal needle that is used for the placement of epidural and subarachnoid catheters. The Disposable Atraumatic Spinal Needle does not have a side port and does not allow for CSF aspiration. The Disposable Atraumatic Spinal Needle is available in sizes 18G to 27G. So, how do these two needles compare? First, let's look at their similarities. Both needles are disposable and atraumatic, meaning they cause minimal tissue damage. They are both available in sizes 18G to 27G. Now let's look at their differences. The Aspiration Needle has a beveled tip and a side port that allows for CSF aspiration while the Disposable Atraumatic Spinal Needle does not have either of those features. Because of this, the Aspiration Needle is better suited for the placement of epidural and subarachnoid catheters and the removal of cerebrospinal fluid from the lumbar region of the spine.
The disposable atraumatic spinal needle is designed to minimize tissue trauma and minimize the risk of infection. The aspiration needle is designed to quickly and efficiently remove fluid from the spine.
The advantages of the disposable atraumatic spinal needle include:
- reduced tissue trauma
- reduced risk of infection
- less pain for the patient
The disadvantages of the disposable atraumatic spinal needle include:
- slightly higher cost
- may not be as effective in removing fluid from the spine compared to the aspiration needle
Yes, there is a difference in cost for both types of needles. The disposable atraumatic spinal needle is more expensive than the aspiration needle. However, the disposable atraumatic spinal needle is designed for use with a specific type of syringe and may not be compatible with all types of syringes. The aspiration needle is less expensive and can be used with any type of syringe.
