Description
Types of Spinal Needles Available
Quincke Tip (Cutting) — Model 14-200 –
The Quincke is the most commonly used design of spinal needle. Its sharp beveled tip allows smooth penetration of the dura mater. It is the preferred choice for spinal anesthesia and lumbar puncture. Available in 18G to 27G.
Whitacre Pencil Point (Atraumatic) — Model 14-210 –
The Whitacre’s rounded, pencil-like tip separates rather than cuts dura mater fibers, with a significant reduction in the risk of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). The first is preferred for procedures such as epidural analgesia, obstetric anesthesia, and lumbar puncture where the risk of headache must be minimized. Available in 22G-27G.
