EPIDURAL NEEDLE vs SPINAL NEEDLE
| Aspect | Epidural Needle | Spinal Needle |
| Purpose | It is used to deliver medication into the epidural space outside the dura mater. | It is used to inject medication directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the subarachnoid space. |
| Tip Design | It is blunt, non-cutting tip (e.g., Tuohy needle) to prevent dura puncture and allow epidural catheter placement. | It is fine, sharp or pencil-point tip (e.g., Quincke, Whitacre) designed to pierce the dura for precise CSF access. |
| Medication Delivery | Medication spreads in the epidural space for gradual, broader pain relief. | Medication directly enters the CSF, providing rapid onset and a more defined sensory block. |
