SPROTTE® NEEDLE
Atraumatic needle for spinal anaesthesia
The pioneering atraumatic needle for spinal anaesthesia
- Description
- information
- benefits
- studies
- legal information
With the arrival of the first Sprotte® needle at the end of the 1970s,spinal anaesthesia established itself as the alternative loco-regional anaesthesia technique to general anaesthesia. The secret of its success lies in the unique design of its tip. The atraumatic entry and optimal gliding properties of the Sprotte® needle minimise potential damage and prevent foreign bodies and tissue particles from being transported into the subarachnoid space,while reducing the incidence of post dural puncture headaches.
- The Sprotte® needle is available in different lengths and gauges.
- Available with LUER or NRFit connectors.
- Atraumatic tip: ogival tip for unique atraumatic properties and tactile sensations
- Colour-coded hub for easy identification of needle size
- Facet tip introducer to reduce the risk of damaging the Sprotte® needle during insertion
- Lateral eye for unobstructed cerebrospinal fluid reflux and minimal risk of tissue coring
