atraumatic needle

Atraumatic needles are manufactured in all shapes for most sizes.

The suture manufacturer swages the suture thread to the eyeless atraumatic needle at the factory.

Finally, atraumatic needles may be permanently swaged to the suture or may be designed to come off the suture with a sharp straight tug.

Modern, atraumatic needles such as the Sprotte or Whitacre spinal needle leave a smaller perforation and reduce the risk for PDPH.
