Description

The SPINAL NEEDLE SPROTTE, crafted by Pajunk, is a specialized medical device designed for precision and safety in spinal anesthesia and lumbar puncture procedures. Its innovative design is centered around the atraumatic ogival tip, often referred to as a pencil-point tip, which significantly reduces tissue trauma during dural puncture. This unique geometry is instrumental in minimizing the risk of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH), making it a preferred choice in various clinical settings such as obstetric anesthesia, outpatient surgery, and neurology.

Key Features

• Atraumatic Design: The needle's rounded, non-cutting tip ensures gentle penetration, reducing the likelihood of nerve, dura, and blood vessel trauma.
• Burr-Free Lateral Eye: Equipped with a large, smooth lateral opening for rapid cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow, enhancing the mixing of anesthetics.
• High-Quality Construction: Made from precision-ground, burr-free stainless steel with a polished inner lumen, ensuring smooth gliding and optimal fluid flow.
• Custom-Fit Stylet: Prevents tissue coring and the introduction of foreign particles by precisely closing the lateral eye.

Ergonomic Features

The SPINAL NEEDLE SPROTTE includes a color-coded hub and stylet for easy needle size identification. It offers options for a standard or magnifying hub to improve CSF visualization. The facet-tipped introducer needle is matched in diameter and length to each needle size, featuring a funnel-shaped hub to protect the needle tip and maintain its working length.

Versatility and Options

Available in multiple sizes and variants, the needle caters to a wide range of clinical needs, including special designs for pediatric and obese patients. It offers connector options with LUER and NRFit® connectors and an echogenic Sono variant optimized for ultrasound guidance.

Clinical Advantages

The SPINAL NEEDLE SPROTTE is backed by high-level clinical evidence, demonstrating reduced rates of complications such as headaches and back pain compared to traditional needles. Its design promotes rapid CSF recognition through a hub with reduced inner space and optional integrated magnification, ensuring fast and secure detection.

Intended Applications

This needle is suitable for:

• Spinal anesthesia
• Lumbar puncture
• Obstetric anesthesia
• Neurology procedures

Maintenance Guidelines

To maintain its integrity, it is recommended to use the introducer as advised, always insert with the stylet in place, and replace the needle if multiple insertion attempts are necessary.

The SPINAL NEEDLE SPROTTE exemplifies Pajunk's commitment to enhancing patient safety and procedural efficiency through innovative design and high-quality materials.
