Sprotte needle is used for Spinal anaesthesia, Pajunk Sprotte´s atraumatic puncture and optimal gliding properties minimise possible injuries and prevent foreign bodies and tissue particles from being carried into the subarachnoid space, while reducing the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). Sprotte decreases complications of spinal anaesthesia and increases the safety of application.
- Sprotte ogive-shaped tip geometry creating an atraumatic cannula. (allowing practitioner to sense when they are penetrating tissues of varying density.)
- Lateral eye placement ensures free fluid flow even if the opening is partly blocked by arachnoidea
- Transparent hub to visualise any fluid reflux (blood or CSF), also available with magnification hub for easier viewing
- Metal stylet (removal creates a vacuum, allowing control of CSF fluid)
- Colour coded hub for gauge of needle, depth markings in 1cm increments
