Needles for Atraumatic Spinal Anaesthesia

With the introduction of the first atraumatic Sprotte needle at the end of the 1970s, Spinal Anaesthesia was rehabilitated as a fully accepted alternative to general anaesthesia. A unique tip geometry is the secret of its success. Sprotte ́s atraumatic puncture and optimal gliding properties minimise possible injuries and prevent foreign bodies and tissue particles from being carried into the subarachnoid space, while reducing the incidence of post-dural puncture headache (PDPH). In addition, the Sprotte decreases complications of Spinal Anaesthesia and increases the safety of every application.

Sprotte Overview

Sprotte Features & Advantages

1. Atraumatic Tip

  • Displaces tissue with minimal injury1
  • Dura fibres close again
  • Excellent tactile feedback
  • Minimise chance for PDPH

2. Lateral Eye

  • Burr-free
  • Rounded atraumatic edges
  • Optimised gliding properties
  • Minimum tissue particle carry-over into the spinal space

3. Optimal Lateral Eye Size and Placement

  • Unobstructed backflow, even if the eye is partially blocked by the arachnoid membrane

4. Custom-fit Stylet

  • Lateral eye closes precisely2
  • Polished, rounded tip prevents abrasion on the inner needle tube

5. Highest Processing Quality

  • High quality stainless steel needle for increased stability
  • Smoothly polished and burr-free surface and inner lumen for optimisation of gliding properties and CSF backflow

6. Needle Hub with Reduced Inner Space

  • Fast detection of cerebrospinal fluid for secure placement
  • Immediate detection of even the smallest quantities of CSF

7. Colour Coded Hub with Size Indication

  • Wide needle range with different diameters and lengths
  • Special designs for pediatrics and obese patients

8. Introducer with Facet Tip

  • Diameter and length perfectly matched to each needle size
  • Useable working lenght of the spinal needle is reduced only minimally by the Introducer
  • When inserted into the Introducer, the needle tip is not damaged by the funnel-shaped inner contour
