BD® Whitacre High-Flow Pencil Point Spinal Needle

BD™ Whitacre Spinal Needles yield a distinct tactile "click" or "pop" as the pencilpoint penetrates the dura, alerting the clinician of proper placement. Pencil-point needles like the BD® Whitacre spinal needles have been shown to minimise the risk of PDPH compared to larger gauge, cutting-point needles. BD® Whitacre spinal needles’ clear hubs enable anaesthesiologists to visualise CSF for proper needle placement. Precision-formed side hole helps directional flow of anesthetic agents and helps reduce the possibility of straddling the dura.
