The pencil point spinal needle has an essential advantage over the quincke point spinal needle. It is safer for the patient and user because this needle has a lateral hole through which the anesthetic is delivered into the spinal space. The needle is therefore to be preferred by beginners and / or inexperienced doctors.

Description:

• Spinal needles are used for lumbar puncture for spinal anaesthesia
