A Spinal Needle Manufacturer Covering 18G to 27G Under Your Brand
Zhenjiang Gaoguan Medical Appliances Co., Ltd is a spinal needle manufacturer with 20 years of single-use device production experience, an ISO 13485 certified quality management system, and CE marked products sold in 30+ countries. We manufacture spinal anesthesia needles in Quincke (cutting-bevel) and pencil-point (non-traumatic) designs, from 18G down to 27G, for OEM and private label partners.
Spinal needles are a tip-geometry business. The difference between a Quincke and a pencil-point needle is not marketing — it is dural puncture mechanics and post-dural puncture headache (PDPH) risk. As your OEM partner we manufacture to the tip design your clinical advisors specify, and we hold that geometry within defined tolerances batch after batch. For background on the clinical trade-offs, see pencil-point spinal needle benefits, pencil-point needles and PDPH risk, et spinal needle bevel design and outcomes.
Pencil-Point vs Quincke: What You Can Customize in Each
| Attribute | Pencil-Point (Non-Traumatic) | Quincke (Cutting Bevel) |
|---|---|---|
| Tip construction | Conical, closed tip with side hole | Open cutting bevel with sharp lateral edges |
| Available gauges | 22G–27G typically ordered (confirmed with our regulatory team) | 18G–27G full range |
| Bevel angle customization | N/A (tip geometry fixed by mold/grinding) | Quincke angle adjustable within validated range |
| Side-hole position | Position and diameter per design | N / A |
| Insertion feel | Higher insertion force, lower dural cutting | Lower insertion force, cutting penetration |
| Clinical driver | PDPH risk reduction is the common reason buyers specify it | Cost-sensitive markets and technique preference |
| Stylet | Matched stylet included | Matched stylet included |
| Typical OEM pairing | Combined with 16G/18G Tuohy epidural needle for combined procedures | Standalone spinal kits, vet/spinal markets (confirmed with our regulatory team) |
Full Gauge Range and Color Coding
We manufacture the following standard range; each gauge is available as an OEM item with your packaging and labeling:
| Jauge | Available Tip Designs | Product Reference |
|---|---|---|
| 18G | Quincke | AN-S18G |
| 20G | Quincke | AN-S20G |
| 21G | Quincke / pencil point pencil-point available on request | AN-S21G |
| 22G | Quincke | AN-S22G |
| 23G | Quincke | AN-S23G |
| 25G | Quincke / pencil point | AN-S25G, non-traumatic pencil-point model |
| 27G | Quincke and pencil-point options | AN-S27G |
Color coding follows the standard hub color convention for each gauge (e.g., yellow for 20G, black for 22G ). If your market uses a different coding standard, we manufacture to your hub color specification — this is one of the most common OEM requests and requires no tooling change on most configurations.
Customization Dimensions Beyond Gauge
- Tip type and geometry: pencil-point vs Quincke per the table above; side-hole and bevel parameters within validated limits per ISO 9626
- Longueur: standard adult and shorter lengths 25–70 mm typical; custom lengths on request
- Depth markings: printed or laser, per your spacing convention
- Stylet: matched, with luer hub options
- Conditionnement: individual peel packs, 5/10 packs, private label cartons, or integration into combined epidural/spinal kits and custom packs export cartons with desiccant and humidity indicator; palletized per shipping requirements
- Stérilisation: EO or gamma per product validation
Production and Release Controls
Spinal needle release includes dimensional verification of tubing per ISO 9626, tip geometry inspection under magnification, stylet fit check, hub pull-force testing, and — where applicable — sharpness and strength sampling. Tip consistency is the checkpoint most OEM customers audit first, and we encourage you to include it in your inspection protocol during sample approval. Packaging is validated to ISO 11607 so your sterile barrier claim survives transport.
