Spinal-epidural Combined Anesthesia Kits

The combined spinal–epidural technique (CSE) has become increasingly popular in recent years. It can be defined as the intentional injection of drug into the subarachnoid space and the placement of a catheter into the epidural space as part of the same procedure. The advantage of the CSE is that neuraxial block can be achieved rapidly using the spinal component while the epidural catheter can be used to prolong or modify the block.

List of accessories kits:

• Touhy type epidural needle provided with clear depth marking for accurate insertion depth reading . Polished inner bevel edge minimizes the risk of catheter shearing. One of the follows:
