Frequently asked questions
Is the Epican needle designed for caudal use?
Yes, the B. Braun Epican Short Length Caudal Needle is specifically engineered to meet the unique demands of caudal anesthesia procedures.
Its design emphasizes patient safety and minimizing tissue trauma through the incorporation of key features:
- A dull Crawford type bevel to minimize tissue disruption upon insertion.
- Precision-ground stylets engineered to reduce the risk of tissue coring.
The needles are supplied sterile, are latex-free, and are available in various configurations, including 20 Ga x 2 in (50 mm) and 22 Ga x 1.75 in (35 mm).
