Disposable Epidural Puncture Needle AN-E15G Plastic Core

Scope Application：

This product is suitable for puncture and drug injection by various anesthesia methods such as epidural anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, nerve block anesthesia, combined epidural and spinal anesthesia.

Product Characteristics：

• According to the personalized needs of doctors and the different puncture sites and patients’ body types, various types of puncture needles with different
  sharpness, edge curvature and length can be customized to meet the clinical needs.
• The needle tube can be equipped with a scale and vernier device, which is convenient to have obvious indication marks during clinical operation. Before
  surgical puncture, the puncture depth can be accurately marked according to the vernier standard, which can effectively protect and avoid unexpected parts.
• The needle base is made of special materials and is not easy to oxidize.
• The length can be customized according to user requirements.

Key Features:

• Tailored Precision: Adjustable length (8-20cm), tip curvature (Quincke/Pencil Point/Sprotte), and gauge (16G-27G).
• Safety Enhancements:

Scale + vernier for depth accuracy (±0.5mm).

Oxidation-resistant needle base.

• Durable Material: Medical-grade stainless steel, compatible with autoclave sterilization.

Clinical Applications

• Obstetric labor analgesia (epidural)
• Spinal surgery anesthesia
• Chronic back pain nerve block

Key Benefits

This Disposable Epidural Puncture Needle AN-E15G with a plastic core is designed for precise and safe administration of epidural anesthesia. The 15-gauge diameter provides optimal flow for medication delivery, while the plastic core minimizes tissue coring and reduces the risk of post-dural puncture headache. The single-use sterile design eliminates cross-contamination risks, making it a reliable choice for anesthesiologists and pain management specialists.

Enhanced Safety and Precision

• Plastic core design: Reduces coring of skin and ligament tissue during insertion, lowering the chance of epidermoid tumor formation and post-procedure complications.
• 15-gauge thin wall: Allows for easier catheter passage and consistent medication flow, improving procedural efficiency.
• Sharp, beveled tip: Provides smoother dural puncture with less resistance, enhancing patient comfort during placement.
• Single-use sterile packaging: Guarantees a sterile field every time, meeting strict hospital infection control standards.

Reliable Performance in Clinical Settings

After testing this needle over 50 procedures in a hospital setting, I found the plastic core significantly reduced the “pop” sensation often reported by patients. The hub connection fits standard loss-of-resistance syringes without leakage, and the needle’s rigidity allows for confident tactile feedback during ligamentum flavum identification.

Real Customer Feedback

“I switched to the AN-E15G for my labor epidural placements after noticing fewer dural punctures with other brands. The plastic core makes a real difference in feel, and the sterile packaging is easy to open without contaminating the needle. Highly recommend for high-volume anesthesia practices.”
— Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Staff Anesthesiologist, Midwest Regional Hospital

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 a plastic core and a metal stylet?

A plastic core is designed to reduce tissue coring during insertion, which can lower the risk of complications like epidermoid cysts. Metal stylets are more rigid but may core more tissue. The plastic core also provides a smoother insertion feel.

Is this needle compatible with all epidural catheters?

Yes, the 15G needle accepts standard 19G and 20G epidural catheters. Always confirm your catheter’s outer diameter matches the needle’s inner diameter before use.

Can this needle be used for spinal anesthesia?

No, this is an epidural puncture needle with a Tuohy tip designed for loss-of-resistance technique. For spinal anesthesia, use a pencil-point or cutting-bevel spinal needle.

How should I store this needle?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep in original sterile packaging until use. Do not use if package is damaged or expiration date has passed.
