Spinal Needle

A spinal needle is a medical device that is used to inject medication or other substances into the spinal canal, which is the space inside the spine that contains the spinal cord and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). It consists of a long, thin needle that is inserted into the spine through the lower back, and a small stylet that is used to guide the needle through the spine and into the spinal canal.

Spinal needles are commonly used in hospitals, clinics, and other medical settings to administer medications or other substances directly into the spinal canal. They are typically used for pain management, to administer spinal anesthesia, or to inject dyes or other substances for diagnostic purposes.

To use a spinal needle, a healthcare provider will sterilize the patient’s skin and carefully insert the needle into the spine through the lower back. The stylet is then removed, and the medication or other substance is injected into the spinal canal through the needle.

Spinal needles are an essential tool for administering medications and other substances to the spinal canal, and are an important part of the medical profession. They allow for precise delivery of medications and other substances to the spinal canal, and are commonly used in a wide range of medical treatments and procedures.
