Description

The Tuohy Epidural Needle, 18G x 6", with a metal stylet, is specifically designed for single-shot or continuous epidural procedures. This needle is commonly used in medical practices for anesthesia administration, particularly during labor, surgery, or pain management procedures. The 18-gauge size ensures a secure and stable insertion while offering flexibility for various patient needs.

The needle is equipped with a metal stylet, which enhances its durability and strength during insertion. The stylet provides added control, making it easier for clinicians to guide the needle accurately into the epidural space. Once the needle is in place, the stylet can be removed, allowing for the administration of medication or the placement of a catheter for continuous anesthesia.

The Tuohy needle features removable wings and a plastic hub, providing additional ease of handling and ensuring that the needle can be securely stabilized during the procedure. The wings assist in improving control during insertion, while the plastic hub ensures a firm connection to the syringe or other equipment used for medication delivery.
