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 patented RX Coudé® Needle is the perfect introducer needle for stimulator lead placement. This needle is dimensionally compatible with trial or implantable electrodes placed through a 14 GA introducer currently available from various manufacturers.* It is ideal for Retrograde Stimulator placement. The RX™ rear heel is rounded to resist lead shearing during placement.

*Compared to competitive 14 GA epidural introducers used for lead placement.

Developed by Epimed, the R.K.™ Epidural Needle is a modified Tuohy Epidural Needle with an opened and dulled bevel to allow safer catheter passage. A large triangle is printed on the hub in the direction of the bevel to assist in correct 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.

A Coudé® (curved) version of the Blunt Nerve Block Needle that has a 15° bend in the cannula approximately one centimeter from the distal end allowing for precise tip placement even with difficult to reach target areas.

Single source for speciality nerve block needles for Interventional Pain Management. Designed for atraumatic access for nerve blocks: sleeve blocks, deep muscle blocks, hypogastric blocks, paravertebral blocks, joint blocks, facets, selective nerve root, lumbar sympathetic, celiac plexus.

The 25 GA Blunt Nerve Block Needle with a Coudé® tip (i.e. curved tip) is the smallest directable blunt needle on the market.

The 25 GA Blunt Nerve Block Needle with a straight tip is the smallest blunt needle on the market.

A Bullet-Tip Coudé Needle with a side infusion port located inside the curve. This non-cutting, non-coring tip is ideal for manipulating the needle with minimal damage to tissues.

The STEALTH™ Nerve Block Needle features a diamond point tip for minimal tissue trauma and a Coudé® cannula for enhanced directability. The winged handle design allows a shallow approach during needle insertion. The integral 6 inch microbore extension tubing prevents inadvertant needle movement during injection and removes the physicians hands from the x-ray beam.

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.

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.

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.
