The BD 405184 Spinal Needle is specifically designed for lumbar punctures and spinal anesthesia. This 18-gauge, 3.5-inch Quincke needle features a cutting bevel designed to provide smooth and controlled penetration through the dura mater, minimizing the risk of trauma during procedures. The Quincke point is ideal for diagnostic lumbar punctures, where the physician needs to withdraw cerebrospinal fluid, as well as for spinal anesthesia, allowing for precise needle placement.

The needle is constructed from high-quality stainless steel, ensuring strength, flexibility, and durability during the procedure. It also features a coating (typically epoxy or polyurethane) to reduce friction, allowing for easier insertion and smoother handling. The clear hub is color-coded for quick identification, which can be particularly helpful when handling multiple sizes in a clinical setting. This feature allows healthcare professionals to quickly assess the size and ensure they are using the appropriate needle for the procedure.

The BD 405184 Spinal Needle is packaged in boxes of 25 sterile, single-use units, ensuring that healthcare providers have a ready supply for busy clinical environments. It is suitable for use in both adult and pediatric populations, although the choice of needle size and length should always be based on the patient’s anatomy and specific procedure requirements. As with all needles, the use of the BD 405184 Spinal Needle requires proper technique and adherence to aseptic protocols to minimize the risk of complications like infection or inadvertent injury.

This medical supply or implant item is securely packaged within its original manufacturer's packaging, which remains undamaged. The inner and outer packaging is intact, ensuring the product's integrity and suitability for medical use.
