Definitions

  • the present invention relates to surgical needles and more particularly to fine gauge needles for use in spinal anaesthesia, nerve stimulation and peripheral nerve blocks and to needles and cannulae for use in intravenous and intra-arterial cannulation.
  • Fine gauge needles are known to provide many advantages over large bore needles and have been used for many years. For example, after spinal anaesthesia the incidence of postdural puncture headache using a 26-gauge needle is 3-10% compared to less than 1% incidence using a 29-gauge or 30-gauge needle.
  • fine gauge needles are technically and clinically difficult to use and their use is often restricted to experienced aneasthesiologists. Th factor limiting the gauge of a needle in which a stylet is required is the diameter of the stylet. The stylet is use to prevent blocking of the lumen of the needle.
  • the finest needle available with a stylet is a 29-gauge needle. A 30-gauge or 32-gauge needle is too fine for a stylet.
  • a known solution to the problem of postdural puncture headache is to ensure that the puncture made in the dura is small.
  • fine gauge needles are difficult to use and the following are a number of arrangements which seek to alleviate the risk of dural puncture headache.
  • a cannula is inserted through a relatively large hollow needle.
  • This cannula houses a catheter which is provided with a puncturing wire or stylet.
  • a disadvantage of this arrangement is that the relative positions of the needle, cannula and catheter are difficult to maintain and those positions are easily disturbed especially when withdrawing the puncturing wire or stylet.
  • a similar arrangement is disclosed in US-A-4,973,312.
  • a coaxially disposed cannula and catheter are provided with a centrally disposed trocar (as disclosed in US-A-5,135,525) or guide wire (as disclosed in US-A-4,994,036) .
  • this trocar or guide wire must be sufficiently resilient to prevent the coaxial cannula and catheter from flexing.
  • Further known arrangements provide hollow needles down which a catheter tube is fed thus requiring relatively r + large bore needles. The above arrangements provide certai disadvantages with respect to accidental injury as detaile hereinbelow. 5
  • the Whitacre needle provides a needle point which is closed at its distal end and has an aperture defined on the shaft of the needle to allow fluid to flow.
  • a disadvantage of this needle is that very fine gauge needle of this type are not realisable and that the aperture is
  • Fine gauge cannulae also have disadvantages associated with their flexibility. When a fine gauge needle associated with a fine gauge cannula is withdrawn, the cannula shaft or sleeve can be easily bent or twisted which disrupts the
  • the present invention provides a needle or cannula comprising a hollow shaft and an interface hub, the shaft having proximal and distal ends, characterised in that the shaft comprises a fine gauge portion at or towards the distal end and a reinforced portion at or near the proximal end.
  • An optional intermediate reinforced portion may be provided between said proximal and distal ends of the shaft.
  • the needle and cannula may be adapted for use in the administration of local anaesthetic agents for spinal anaesthesia.
  • a transparent or translucent hub may be provided on the reinforced portion.
  • the needle and cannula of the present invention may be adapted for use with existing needles and cannulae.
  • the reinforced needle and cannula of the present invention may be adapted for use in nerve stimulation.

  • the fine gauge needle or trocar has an operational and inoperational position within the blunt-tipped needle, characterised in that, in the inoperational mode, a biasing means moves the fine gauge needle or trocar rearwardly into the blunt-tipped needle and, in the operational mode, a user moves the needle or trocar relative to the blunt-tipped needle against the biasing means.
  • the present invention provides a needle comprising an atraumatic tip having a substantially conical or rounded profile, so that where the needle tip is applied against a target membrane, the membrane fibres are separated to allow passage of the needle.
