Description
LCCS Epidural Needle pairs the classic Tuohy tip with a choice of fixed or detachable wings, so the clinician controls how the needle behaves during loss of resistance. Fixed wings give a stable grip for one handed advancement, while detachable wings suit techniques that need the wing removed after placement. Boxes of 25 sterile needles cover 16G through 25G in the lengths epidural work demands.
- Tuohy Tip – the curved Tuohy bevel directs catheters reliably and gives a clear feel for the epidural space.
- Two Wing Designs – fixed wings for maximum control, detachable wings for techniques that need them out of the way.
- Wide Gauge Range – 16G, 17G, 18G, 20G, 22G and 25G options cover adult and fine gauge work.
- Sterile Packaging – every needle is supplied sterile and ready for the tray.
Tuohy Epidural Needles for Blocks and Anesthesia
Epidural blocks and epidural anesthesia call for a needle that gives unmistakable tactile feedback, and the Tuohy design has been the standard answer for decades. This line offers one tip, Tuohy, in two wing designs, because wing preference is a genuine technique decision rather than a cosmetic one. Fixed wing models give the operator more control during advancement, while detachable wing models allow less encumbered handling once the needle is placed. The stylet hub color corresponds to the gauge size, which helps the team confirm the setup before the procedure starts. Lengths run from 3.5 inches for standard placements to 6 inches for larger patients. All configurations are supplied sterile in boxes of 25.
