Epimed Anesthesia Products

The patented RX Coudé® Epidural Needle ensures more precise needle tip placement and positioning of epidural catheters. The RX Coudé® can be positioned so that the front bevel forms a flat surface parallel to the ligamentum flavum and the dura, limiting the chance of dural puncture. Once epidural placement is confirmed, the needle can be rotated towards your target site. As with the Epimed R.K.™ Epidural Needle, the RX rear heel is rounded to resist catheter shearing during placement.

The patented RX™ Epidural Needle ensures more precise needle tip placement and positioning of epidural catheters. The bevel opening at distal tip is shorter than a standard Touhy Needle. As with the Epimed R.K.™ Epidural Needle, the RX rear heel is rounded to resist catheter shearing during placement.

The Flexible Introducer Cannula (SCA) is a 3.5" radiopaque low friction(fluoropolymer) sheath over a 17 GA Tuohy needle. The Introducer cannula is shear resistant providing fault free catheter access and manipulation into the Epidural space.

Rounded bevel with cutting edges and sharp point. Stylet is fitted to the needle and the slot in the hub is in the direction of the bevel.

Standard Spinal Needle with a Luer-Lok connector and a sharp point with a medium length cutting bevel. Available in 22 GA, 25 GA, 3.5" and 4.5" versions.

Between the sharp Quincke and the blunt needles, the Chiba shares some of the benefits of both. The B-bevel tip is sharp enough to penetrate the skin, yet reduces the risk of neural or venous damage. 6" and 8" lengths are packaged with a short introducer to increase stability and reduce chance of infection.
