Lumbar Puncture Needle

A Quincke Spinal Needle is a sterile, single-use, cutting-bevel needle designed for accessing the subarachnoid space for spinal anesthesia, diagnostic lumbar puncture, and intrathecal medication administration. Featuring a sharp cutting tip, removable stylet, and transparent hub for CSF flashback visualization, it allows precise dural penetration and reliable CSF return. Available in various gauges and lengths, it is the traditional cutting needle in neuraxial anesthesia. Strict aseptic technique, proper bevel orientation, and careful patient selection are essential to minimize complications including post-dural puncture headache and nerve injury.
