Mila spinal needle 18G x 25,4 cm · veterinary use in equines and large animals

What is the Mila 18G 25,4 cm spinal needle and what is it used for?

Reaching the correct depth in a large animal requires a sufficiently long needle. The 25,4 cm Mila 18G spinal needle is a veterinary instrument designed for lumbar puncture 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.

The greater length of 25,4 cm is useful in large animals, where more reach is needed, according to the veterinarian's judgment.

Those who work with heavy breeds, such as Percherons or draft horses, usually prefer this length, which allows for flexibility in animals with long necks and backs.

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

It is advisable to keep several units in the first aid kit and check the expiry date and the integrity of the packaging before each use.

How it is used

It should be used by a veterinarian trained in this technique, with aseptic equipment, and according to their clinical judgment. It is for single use only: dispose of it in a suitable container after the procedure.
