Mila spinal needle 18G x 25,4 cm · veterinary use in equines and large animals

What is the Mila 18G x 25,4 cm spinal needle used for?

In large or muscular horses, the 20 cm of a spinal needle may not be sufficient. The Mila 18G, 25,4 cm needle offers a few extra centimeters of reach for lumbar punctures and epidural or subarachnoid procedures as determined by the veterinarian. It maintains the 18G gauge, which provides rigidity and control. It is sterile, single-use, and from the Mila brand, designed for equine and large animal use. Choosing the correct length is a decision made by the veterinarian before the procedure. Having both the 20 cm and 25,4 cm versions available in the clinic allows for treating patients of varying sizes without having to improvise.

How to use

It must be handled by qualified veterinary personnel, following aseptic techniques and the established procedure. Check the packaging before opening it and dispose of the needle after use according to healthcare waste regulations. Before the puncture, prepare and shave the area, have the necessary materials readily available, and ensure that the needle is withdrawn in a single, controlled motion. Always record the length and gauge of the needle used in the patient's medical record.
