With a range of products and configurations to meet anaesthesia needs throughout your facility.
BD® Whitacre Spinal Needles yield a distinct tactile "click" or "pop" as the pencil-point penetrates the dura, alerting the clinician of proper placement.
Pencil-point needles like the BD® Whitacre Spinal Needles have been shown to minimise the risk of PDPH compared to larger gauge, cutting-point needles²˒³˒⁴.
The BD® Whitacre Spinal Needle is supported by 25+ independent published studies.
The BD® Whitacre Spinal Needle’s clear hub enables anaesthesiologists to visualise CSF for proper needle placement.
Precision-formed side hole helps directional flow of anaesthetic agents and helps reduce the possibility of straddling the dura⁵.
