Performing the combined spinal epidural technique requires your utmost skill and dexterity - especially after dural puncture with the spinal needle.
Your challenge is to keep the spinal needle stabilized as you inject your intrathecal anesthetic/analgesic agent.
Now B. Braun has the solution to this challenge: Espocan Docking System.

The Espocan Docking System device is a small, unobtrusive compression sleeve that you attach to the hub of the Espocan Tuohy needle prior to inserting the sleeved spinal needle.
After you achieve dural puncture and stabilize the spinal needle, a clockwise twist of the Docking System sleeve fixes the position of the spinal needle inhibiting forward or backward movement. Your spinal needle can still be rotated to enhance CSF return. |
