Uses of Spinal Needle

  • Spinal Anesthesia

    Spinal needle is used to inject anesthesia into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for lower body surgeries.

  • Myelography

    Lumbar puncture needle(LP) is used to inject contrast dye into the spinal canal for creating visuals, representing the inside of the spinal cord and nerve roots.

  • Cisternal Puncture

    It is used for collecting cerebrospinal fluid from the cisterna magna at the base of the skull for diagnostic purposes.

  • Drainage of Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF)

    It is used to reduce pressure in conditions like hydrocephalus, where excess cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) builds up in the brain, and for therapeutic purposes to treat or relieve nervous system issues. For instance, draining CSF with a spinal needle can help reduce pressure in hydrocephalus or alleviate other conditions affecting the nervous system.

  • Lumbar Puncture (Spinal Tap)

    LP needle is used to collect CSF to diagnose conditions like meningitis, multiple sclerosis, or intracranial pressure disorders.

  • Spinal Block for Pain Management

    Spinal Needle is used for providing pain relief during childbirth, surgeries, or chronic pain conditions.

  • Intrathecal Drug Administration

    It is used for delivering medications like chemotherapy, antibiotics, or pain relievers directly into the CSF.

Faqs

What is a spinal needle used for?

A spinal needle is a specialized medical needle designed for specific procedures involving the spinal cord and surrounding structures. It's commonly used in spinal anesthesia, spinal taps (lumbar punctures), and certain diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

A spinal needle is designed to penetrate the subarachnoid space for immediate anaesthesia, While an epidural needle is used to access the epidural space for longer-term pain relief via catheter insertion.

Quincke needles have a cutting bevel, while Whitacre needles have a pencil-point tip, reducing the risk of post-dural puncture headache.

There are six types of spinal needle are Quincke (or Cutting) Tip, Pencil Point Tip (Whitacre), Acutip Tip, Gertie Marx Tip, Atraumatic or Non-Cutting Tips, Sprotte Tip

Spinal needles are typically designed for single-use, being disposable after one procedure. Reusing them poses risks of contamination and compromise of their sharpness and sterility.

Selecting the appropriate size of a spinal needle involves considering factors like the patient's anatomy, the procedure's purpose, and the clinician's expertise. Factors to consider are Gauge (Thickness), Length and Procedure Type.
