BD® Whitacre needles yield a distinct tactile "click" or "pop" as the pencilpoint penetrates the dura, alerting the clinician of proper placement
Pencil-point needles like the BD® Whitacre spinal needles have been shown to minimize the risk of postdural puncture headache (PDPH) compared to larger gauge, cutting-point needles1,2,3.
The BD® Whitacre spinal needle is supported by 25+ independent published studies.
BD® Whitacre spinal needles’ clear hubs enable anaesthesiologists to visualize cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for proper needle placement.
Precision-formed side hole helps directional flow of anesthetic agents and helps reduce the possibility of straddling the dura4.
