With EpiSpin, PAJUNK® combines two techniques in a single product : atraumatic spinal anaesthesia using the SPROTTE® needle and epidural using the Tuohy needle. The EpiSpin provides a gentle procedure while minimising potential damage to the tip of the Tuohy needle, thanks to the Sprotte® needle exit orifice at the distal tip of the Tuohy needle. Thanks to the unique integrated “Lock” mechanism or the standard attachment device, the SPROTTE® needle is stabilised for injection of the anaesthetic, reducing the risk of needle displacement.
