Every patient is unique, requiring the approach that is right for them—and the right tools for the procedure. BD® Whitacre and BD® Quincke Spinal Needles are selected by clinicians around the world. Designed with translucent hubs, these needles enable anaesthesiologists to clearly visualise cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), supporting accurate needle placement. Manufactured to the highest standards, BD® spinal needles offer consistency and peace of mind in clinical practice.
Specialised solutions for paediatric care
BD also offers BD® Neonatal spinal needles, with short lengths (25 and 51 mm (1''- 2'')) and small gauge (25 G), which make them particularly suitable for paediatric use. The indications for use of BD® Neonatal needles are similar to BD® Quincke and BD® Whitacre Needles.
