 Physician's authorization is required to purchase this item.

Because each patient presents a unique anatomical condition, precision and versatility are equally important in epidural procedures.

With Perifix^® epidural needles, along with an extensive selection of sizes, styles and features to meet any application, you are also assured meticulous construction and reliability.

In fact, the Perifix 17 Ga. epidural needle "was clearly the most durable of the needles tested"1 when evaluated in a test for stiffness and malleability compared to a variety of epidural needles from other domestic manufacturers.2

Choose from our:

• Tuohy needles: 17 Ga., 18 Ga., 20 Ga., and 22 Ga.
• Hustead needles: 17 Ga., and 18 Ga.
• Also see our EpicanTM Caudal needles (pediatric): 20 Ga., and 22 Ga.

Most frequently used needle sizes are also available as sets (together with an epidural catheter and catheter connector) to be dropped on an existing tray.
