Epidural Needles & Catheter Systems

Pajunk Medical produces a wide range of needles and catheters for safe Epidural and Caudal Anaesthesia. The offering includes Crawford and Tuohy needles in different sizes and lengths, as well as EpiLong Nylon and EpiLong Soft Spring-wound catheters.

Pajunk EpiSpin Locksets and trays come equipped with the unique EpiSpin Lock CSE needles and a selection of EpiLong or EpiLong Soft catheters, as well as accessories like the clamping adapter, bacteria filters, or LOR syringes.

The combination of spinal and epidural anaesthesia (CSE) makes paraspinal anaesthesia possible, without changing the instruments. With EpiSpin Lock, PAJUNK® provides a puncture kit for this purpose that combines two techniques and cannula systems in a single product.

The new “Visual Pressure Control” (VPC) by Pajunk developed in collaboration with Prof. Dr. med. Dietmar Enk and Dr. med. Günter Michaelis offers a visual indication of the Loss of Resistance during epidural procedures. The VPC offers a reliable alternative to the conventional Loss of Resistance technique, by visually indicating even the smallest pressure change. This allows for a more objective needle tip placement and increased patient safety.

As one of the major providers of Regional Anaesthesia products, PAJUNK® offers a complete range of NRfit products to meet this ISO requirement. Since the use of Luer connectors is very widespread, there is a higher risk of potential hazards to patients resulting from wrong route injections. To counteract this risk, in 2016 the DIN ISO 80369 standard was issued. This standard defines new requirements for small-bore connectors in six different fields, one of them being Regional Anaesthesia and intends to prevent the risk of accidental misconnections and injections, thus improving patient safety. The new connector following the ISO 80369-6 standard is termed NRFit.
