EpiSpin Lock for Combined Spinal Epidural

Introducing EpiSpin Lock, the innovative solution that combines spinal and epidural anesthesia into a single instrument. This two-in-one device utilizes the SPROTTE® needle for atraumatic spinal anesthesia and the Tuohy needle for continuous epidural catheter placement. With its unique back-eye opening on the distal end of the Tuohy needle, EpiSpin Lock ensures smooth puncture while minimizing needle tip damage.

The integrated locking mechanism on the fixation device provides stability for the Sprotte needle during anesthetic injection, reducing the risk of needle displacement. Additionally, the Sprotte spinal needle's atraumatic tip design helps minimize the occurrence of post-spinal headaches².
