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.
- There are two possible configurations:
- The integrated locking mechanism, known as the "Lock System", which stabilises the Sprotte® needle for injection of the anaesthetic.
- Or the new fixing mechanism called the "Fixing Device" which allows the Sprotte® needle to be fixed in the desired position by screwing the 2 needles together.
- EpiSpin Lock Sets: Tuohy needle, EpiLong catheter, Sprotte® atraumatic needle, FixoLong, Filter, Adapter, 10 ml LOR syringe. EpiLong closed-end catheter with three side holes. With Lock mechanism. Available with LUER connector only.
- EpiSpin Lock Soft Set : Tuohy needle, EpiLong catheter, Sprotte® atraumatic needle, Filter, Adapter, 10 ml LOR syringe. EpiLong Soft catheter: reinforced, closed-end catheter with six side holes. With Lock mechanism. Available with LUER connector only.
- EpiSpin SAFETY Sets : Tuohy needle, EpiLong catheter, Sprotte® atraumatic needle, Filter, Adapter, 10 ml LOR syringe. EpiLong closed-end catheter with three side holes. With Safety mechanism. EpiSpin SAFETY Sets are available with LUER and NRFit connectors.
- EpiSpin LOCK needle : Tuohy needle with exit orifice, Sprotte® atraumatic needle. Lock. Available with LUER connector only.
- The unique "Lock" mechanism enables :
- Easily fix the Sprotte® needle in the desired position.
- Lock the Sprotte® needle with one hand.
- Allows 360° rotation of the Sprotte® needle for optimum use.
- The new "Safety" mechanism makes it possible to :
- Easily fix the Sprotte® needle in the desired position.
- Rotate the Sprotte® needle 360° for optimum positioning of the needle eye.
- Advantages of EpiSpin :
- Sprotte® atraumatic needle with magnified hub to easily see cerebrospinal fluid or blood flow.
- Exit orifice at the end of the Tuohy tip for optimal Sprotte® needle positioning.
- Protrusion mark on the barrel of the Sprotte® needle, indicating the exit of the Tuohy needle tip.
