Sprotte Needle
Atraumatic Needle for Dural Puncture
The Sprotte needle from Pajunk is the original pioneer of atraumatic dural puncture. Since its introduction in the late 1970s, the Sprotte needle has played a key role in re‑establishing spinal anaesthesia as a widely accepted alternative to general anaesthesia.
Its unique atraumatic tip design and optimised gliding properties help minimise tissue injury, reduce the transport of tissue particles into the subarachnoid space, and significantly lower the incidence of post‑dural puncture headache (PDPH).
Why Choose the Sprotte Needle?
Atraumatic Tip Design
Ogive‑shaped tip significantly reduces trauma to the dura mater
Rounded lateral eye edges help minimise tissue injury
Designed to reduce the incidence of post‑dural puncture headache (PDPH)
Provides consistent tactile feedback during puncture
Optimised Lateral Eye Placement
Lateral eye positioned to allow unobstructed CSF backflow, even if partially covered by the arachnoid membrane
Enables faster and clearer CSF flashback
Smooth Gliding Properties
Burr‑free, rounded edges minimise the risk of tissue coring
Reduces the chance of foreign bodies or tissue particles entering the subarachnoid space
High‑Quality Needle Construction
Manufactured from high‑grade stainless steel for stability and reliability
Smoothly polished, burr‑free surface and inner lumen support consistent CSF flow
Designed for reliable, repeatable clinical performance
Colour‑Coded Needle Hub
Colour‑coded hub allows quick and easy identification of needle size, supporting efficient clinical workflow
