Indikation
Tuohy needles for epidural anaesthesia can be used for the injection of single dose of local anaesthetic in the epidural space. But, most of the time, the epidural needle is used to introduce an epidural catheter which allows repeated injections of local anaesthetic and then to use the catheter for post-operative analgesia.
Beskrivning
The Tuohy needle for epidural anaesthesia features:- centimetric graduations
- a transparent hub to visualise any fluid reflux (blood or CSF)
- removable wings for easier insertion
- the heel of the bevel is smoothed to reduce the risk of cutting the epidural catheter
- a stainless steel stylet (except code 184.881: plastic stylet)
- the hub of the stylet is colour-coded according to the diameter of the needle and features a lug to indicate the orientation of the bevel
- extra-long needles are available for obese patients
Note: The Tuohy needle code 184.882 (18G, 8cm long) includes an opening in the curved distal end of the needle (also called back-eye) which is useful if the anesthetist wants to perform a combined spinal-epidural anesthesia.
