Quincke Spinal Needles. The Quincke spinal needles have a Luer lock connection on the hub, a medium length cutting bevel, and a sharp tip. The fitted arrangement of stylet and cannula hub provides proper needle bevel orientation.
Why BD ® Quincke spinal needles?
The key/slot arrangement of stylet and cannula hubs on the BD ® Quincke spinal needles facilitates proper needle bevel orientation. Fitted stylet designed to reduce tissue coring. Unique translucent window hub featuring contact clarity that helps allow visualization of CSF.
What are the different sizes of Quincke needles?
They are available in different sizes with lengths ranging from 90 mm to 178 mm and gauges from 18 G to 27 G. The key/slot arrangement of stylet and cannula hubs on the BD ® Quincke spinal needles facilitates proper needle bevel orientation. Fitted stylet designed to reduce tissue coring.
What is the size of a single use spinal needle?

What kind of needle is used for spinal puncture?
Spinal needle design. Historically, the beveled Quincke needle, a needle with a cutting bevel ( Fig. 30.3) was widely used for dural puncture for both diagnostic and anesthetic purposes (see Chapter 12 ).
What are quincke needles used for?
Quincke needles (Fig. 2.2) were developed in 1891 and have a sharp cutting bevel that is designed to perform dural punctures. They remain widely used today, although only for interventional pain procedures where dural puncture is not the goal.
How many types of spinal needles are there?
Spinal needles generally used today are 22 to 27 G, but sizes ranging from 19 to 30 G are available. The incidence of PDPH after spinal anesthesia performed with Quincke, an cutting needle, is 36% with 22 G needle, 25% with 25 G needle, 2% to 12% with 26 G needle, and less than 2% for smaller than 26 G needles.
What are the different types of spinal needle except?
Spinal needles in current use have different structures such as Quincke, Whitacre, Sprotte, Atraucan (atraumatic tip) and Spinoject. A pencil point spinal needle is similar to the Whitacre and Sprotte type spinal needles and is available in various sizes such as 22, 25 and 27G.
What is a Spinocan needle?
Spinocan® Quincke Spinal Needle. Spinocan Quincke type needles provide a sharper bevel for low puncture force, while allowing for a tactile, reliable "dura click." The precision-ground stylets are designed to minimize tissue coring and optimize gliding characteristics.
Is quincke a cutting needle?
Cutting-tip, or Quincke, needles have sharp, cutting tips, with the hole at the end of the needle. Whitacre and Sprotte needles are two types of pencil point, or noncutting tip needles. They have a closed tip shaped like a pencil, with the hole on the side of the needle near the tip.
What type of needle is used for an epidural?
A Tuohy (/tOO-ee/) needle is a hollow hypodermic needle, very slightly curved at the end, suitable for inserting epidural catheters. A 16G Portex Tuohy needle and epidural catheter.
Who invented the quincke needle?
Quincke–Babcock needle (1914). Gaston Labat was a well-respected French clinician who moved to America. He was one of the pioneers of the widespread acceptance of spinal anaesthesia in the 1920s in both Europe and the USA [9]. He designed a spinal needle that was made of unbreakable nickel (Fig.
Which spinal needle has the lowest risk of Pdph?
The pencil-point 25G Whitacre spinal needle causes less incidence of PDPH compared to the classic 25G Quincke needle, and is recommended for use in patients at risk of PDPH.
What's the difference between spinal and epidural?
Spinal anesthesia involves the injection of numbing medicine directly into the fluid sac. Epidurals involve the injection into the space outside the sac (epidural space).
Which spinal needle has the lowest risk of Pdph?
The pencil-point 25G Whitacre spinal needle causes less incidence of PDPH compared to the classic 25G Quincke needle, and is recommended for use in patients at risk of PDPH.
What's the difference between a lumbar puncture and a spinal tap?
To perform a spinal tap (also called a lumbar puncture), your healthcare provider inserts a needle into your lower back to get a sample of cerebrospinal fluid. Cerebrospinal fluid is the clear liquid that surrounds your spine and brain.
What's the difference between spinal and epidural?
Spinal anesthesia involves the injection of numbing medicine directly into the fluid sac. Epidurals involve the injection into the space outside the sac (epidural space).
What Colour is a 22g needle?
Luckily, most manufacturers color code their IV needles. Here's a little rhyme you can use to help you remember what colors correspond to what sized gauge: 22 is blue and 18 is green. Pink is the one in the middle. There are other IV gauge sizes besides those, although they aren't as common.
Quincke Spinal Needles
Quincke spinal needles are manufactured with the highest tensile 304 stainless steel with 510K clearance and CE mark pending. Precisely machined quincke spinal needle tips result in a sharper spine needle for lower puncture forces. A proven clear plastic hub with color coded stylets caps are designed for enhanced tactile sensitivity and grip.
