The BD® Whitacre needles are manufactured with proprietary needle tipping, side-port and low-glare hub technologies.

• Better post-operative patient experience with BD® Whitacre spinal needles that minimise the risk of postdural puncture headache (PDPH)
• Enhanced precision with BD® Whitacre spinal needles that enable visualisation of CSF, aiding proper needle placement
• BD® Whitacre spinal needles yield a distinct tactile 'click' or 'pop' as the pencil-point penetrates the dura, alerting the clinician of proper placement
• Precision-formed side hole helps directional flow of anaesthetic agents and helps reduce the possibility of straddling the dura
• The BD® Whitacre Spinal Needle is supported by 25+ independant published studies
