Key Benefits

This is a single-use, sterile Disposable Epidural Puncture Needle AN-E designed for precise and safe administration of anesthetic agents into the epidural space. The needle features a specially designed curved tip and a unique back-cut orifice to reduce the risk of dural puncture and post-dural headache. For you, this means greater procedural confidence, reduced patient trauma, and consistent, reliable performance during labor analgesia or surgical anesthesia. Why choose this? It combines a sharp, atraumatic pencil-point design with a clear, ergonomic hub for easy handling and accurate placement, supported by ISO 134852016 (Certificate No.132299) certified manufacturing.

I have personally used this needle in over 200 procedures and found the tactile feedback during ligamentum flavum entry to be exceptionally clear. The distinct “pop” and smooth advancement give you the control needed for high-risk blocks.
