What is the Mila 18G 20 cm spinal needle and what is it used for?

Every millimeter of needle length counts in a technique as delicate as spinal tapping. The 20 cm Mila 18G spinal needle is a veterinary instrument designed for lumbar puncture procedures and regional techniques in horses and other large animals.

It is a consumable material designed for equine clinics and professionals who perform diagnostic techniques on the spine.

Its length of 20 cm makes it suitable for medium or large animals according to the veterinarian's criteria.

Before purchasing it, confirm with your protocol which length is most suitable for the type of patient you usually treat, as the choice depends on the technique and the size of the animal.
