Mini set for epidural anaesthesia containing :
– 1 Tuohy needle 16 G, 80 mm long with transparent hub and removable wings.
The needle has graduations every centimetre. The transparent hub allows to quickly visualize an accidental reflux of blood or of CSF.

A catheter guide which connects onto the Tuohy needle facilitates the insertion of the catheter in the epidural space.
