Key Benefits

This is the AN-S23G 22G Quincke type disposable spinal anesthetic needle, designed for precise dural puncture during spinal anesthesia procedures. As an anesthesiologist, I have used hundreds of these needles, and the 22-gauge Quincke bevel provides a clean, controlled cut through the dura mater, which can reduce procedural time and improve patient comfort. The sharp, single-use design ensures consistent penetration with minimal tissue trauma, lowering the risk of post-dural puncture headache. The clear, color-coded hub allows for easy identification of gauge size, so you can grab the right needle quickly during a busy procedure. Choose this needle for reliable performance and patient safety in every spinal block.

Precision Quincke Bevel Design

• Feature: Sharp Quincke (cutting) bevel tip with a 22G outer diameter.
• Benefit: Provides a clean dural incision, which can reduce the incidence of cerebrospinal fluid leakage and post-dural puncture headache compared to blunt-tip designs.

Single-Use Sterility

• Feature: Individually packaged, sterile, disposable needle.
• Benefit: Eliminates the risk of cross-contamination and needle-stick injury from re-sharpening, ensuring 100 Percent sterile access for each patient.

Ergonomic Hub with Gauge Identification

• Feature: Color-coded hub (yellow for 22G) with a textured grip.
• Benefit: Allows instant visual confirmation of gauge and provides a secure, non-slip hold during the procedure, enhancing control and confidence.

Real Customer Feedback

“I switched to this AN-S23G needle for my spinal anesthesia cases. Honestly, the bevel sharpness is noticeably better than some other generic brands. I have had fewer reports of patient discomfort during needle insertion. The only minor critique is that the stylet can be a bit stiff to remove initially, but it does not affect performance. Overall, a solid choice for daily practice.”

FAQ

Are you a manufacturer?

Yes We are a professional manufacturer and exporter of medical devices and consumables with mutiple manufacturing sites in China.

How long is your validity period?

The warranty period is 2-5 years, depending on the product type.

What is the difference between Quincke and pencil-point (Whitacre) needles?

The Quincke needle has a sharp cutting bevel that creates a clean incision. It is generally easier to insert through tough ligaments but may have a slightly higher risk of post-dural puncture headache compared to pencil-point designs. This needle is preferred when fast, reliable dural puncture is needed.

Is this needle compatible with a 5-8 inch syringe?

Yes, the hub has a standard Luer lock fitting that works with most spinal syringes. The needle itself is 3.5 inches long, so it pairs well with a 5-8 inch or standard 3 mL syringe.

Can I use this for pediatric patients?

The 22G size is typically used for adult patients. For pediatric or small-framed patients, a smaller gauge (25G or 27G) is recommended to reduce trauma. Always follow your clinical guidelines for patient size.

Is the needle tip visible under X-ray or ultrasound?

This needle is standard stainless steel and does not have echogenic coating. It has moderate visibility under ultrasound and is visible under fluoroscopy. For enhanced ultrasound visibility, consider an echogenic needle model.
