SPINOCAN 22G 1*25

About

The Spinocan 22G is a sterile, single-use spinal needle designed for precise access to the subarachnoid space, primarily for lumbar punctures or spinal anesthesia. The '22G' refers to its gauge, indicating a fine needle diameter that aims to minimize tissue trauma and reduce the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). Its design typically includes a sharp, pencil-point or Quincke bevel tip, facilitating smooth penetration through the dura mater. The needle is often equipped with a clear hub for easy visualization of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flashback, confirming correct placement.

Each needle is individually packaged to maintain sterility and is intended for single patient use to prevent cross-contamination. The length of the needle is optimized for various anatomical considerations, ensuring effective reach to the target area. Spinocan needles are critical instruments in anesthesiology, neurology, and pain management, enabling the safe and effective administration of medications or collection of diagnostic samples from the central nervous system. Proper aseptic technique and anatomical knowledge are paramount for its safe and successful application.

Uses

• Administering spinal anesthesia for surgical procedures.
• Performing lumbar punctures for CSF sampling.
• Diagnostic procedures for neurological conditions.
• Therapeutic injections into the subarachnoid space.

Directions For Use

Under strict aseptic conditions, insert the needle into the subarachnoid space. Once CSF flow is confirmed, proceed with medication administration or sample collection.

Benefits

• Minimizes tissue trauma due to fine gauge.
• Reduces risk of post-dural puncture headache.
• Provides precise drug delivery.
• Allows for clear CSF flashback visualization.
• Sterile and single-use for infection control.
• Effective for rapid onset of anesthesia.

Side Effects

• Post-dural puncture headache (PDPH).
• Nerve damage (rare).
• Infection at insertion site.
• Bleeding or hematoma formation.
• Allergic reaction to materials.
• Transient neurological symptoms.
• Back pain at the insertion site.
• CSF leakage.
• Nausea and vomiting.
• Hypotension.
• Urinary retention.
• Difficulty with insertion.

Safety Measures

• Alcohol - Used for skin preparation at the insertion site; ensure complete drying before needle insertion to prevent chemical irritation.
• Pregnancy - Commonly used for spinal anesthesia during labor and delivery; benefits often outweigh risks, but careful consideration and patient counseling are essential.
• Breastfeeding - Anesthetic agents administered via spinal route may pass into breast milk; consult an anesthesiologist for specific drug considerations and recommendations.
• Liver - Impaired liver function may affect the metabolism of co-administered drugs; no direct impact on the needle itself, but drug choice requires careful consideration.
• Kidney - Impaired kidney function may affect the excretion of co-administered drugs; no direct impact on the needle itself, but drug choice requires careful consideration.
• Lung - No direct impact on lung function; however, careful patient positioning is crucial to avoid respiratory compromise during the procedure.
