Railway lumbar combined puncturing needle
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a puncture needle set for combined spinal-epidural anesthesia comprising an epidural needle with a small guiding conduit on the pin and a groove on the outer wall and a spinal needle with a beaked tip. During anesthesia, first the epidural needle is punctured into the epidural space, then the epidural catheter is placed, afterwards the spinal needle is guided to enter into the groove on the needle peduncle by the small conduit on the pin of the epidural needle and slide into the epidural space, then let it go ahead deep into subarachnoid space. After medicine is injected, the spinal needle and the epidural needle are withdrawn in turn, at the same time the epidural catheter is left back.
1. A single-lumen combined railway lumbar puncture needle, comprising:
an epidural needle having an inner cavity through which an epidural catheter is placeable, the epidural needle having a pin and a needle peduncle, the inner cavity having two sections, one section being formed in the pin and the other section being formed in the needle peduncle, a guiding conduit being disposed on the pin of the epidural needle, and a groove being formed on an outer wall of the entire needle peduncle, the groove being separate from the section of the inner cavity formed in the needle peduncle by the outer wall of the needle peduncle, and
a spinal needle, a tip of the spinal needle being beaked and being of a unilaterally curved configuration, the spinal needle being insertable into the groove via the guiding conduit, and being slidable along the groove, so as to be deliverable through the groove on the epidural needle while the epidural catheter is disposed in place through the inner cavity of the epidural needle, to thereby achieve spinal-epidural anesthesia,
wherein the inner cavity extends along the epidural needle and is enclosed by the outer wall of the epidural needle, two openings of the inner cavity being respectively formed at approximately two ends of the epidural needle.
2. A combined railway lumbar puncture needle, comprising:
an epidural needle having an inner cavity through which an epidural catheter is placeable, the epidural needle having a pin that has a guiding conduit, and a needle peduncle extending from the pin, the inner cavity having two sections, one section being formed in the pin and the other section being formed in the needle peduncle, the guiding conduit being separate from the section of the inner cavity formed in the pin, said needle peduncle having a groove formed in an entire outer wall thereof, the groove being separate from the section of the inner cavity formed in the needle peduncle by the outer wall of the needle peduncle, the groove extending an entire length of said needle peduncle and being coplanar with the guiding conduit and forming an oblique angle with an extended line of the guiding conduit, an outlet of the guiding conduit being disposed above the groove; and
a spinal needle, a tip of the spinal needle being beaked and being of a unilaterally curved configuration, the spinal needle being insertable into the groove via the guiding conduit, and being slidable along the groove, the beaked tip of the spinal needle being received and guided by the groove;
wherein when said spinal needle is inserted into said guiding conduit, said spinal needle is initially guided in a direction that is oblique to the groove so that the beaked tip, after it passes from the outlet of the guiding conduit, passes above the groove without contacting groove, and subsequently makes contact with and enters the groove at an intermediate portion thereof, to thereafter be guided by the groove, so as to be deliverable through the groove on the epidural needle while the epidural catheter is disposed in place through the inner cavity of the epidural needle, to thereby achieve spinal-epidural anesthesia, and
wherein the inner cavity extends along the epidural needle and is enclosed by the outer wall of the epidural needle, two openings of the inner cavity being respectively formed at approximately two ends of the epidural needle.
