Unique CSE Needle System with Fixation Device, Back-eye Tuohy and SPROTTE® needle
The EpiSpin SAFETY needles come with an fixation device, which stabilise the Sprotte needle for the injection of anaesthetic while reducing the risk of a needle displacement. Due to the atraumatic needle tip design of the Sprotte needle, EpiSpin SAFETY offers smooth spinal puncture while minimising needle tip damage through the back-eye opening on the distal end of the Tuohy needle.
