Lumbar Puncture
Needles for Atraumatic Lumbar Puncture
Together with Pajunk, Prof. Sprotte developed the Sprotte, the first atraumatic needle for lumbar puncture.
The secret of its success can be found in its unique tip geometry and basic architecture. This design, developed especially for the requirements of dural puncture, allows for an atraumatic puncture of the ligamentary structures and optimises CSF flow while reducing the incidence of post-lumbar puncture headaches (PLPH).
Sprotte decreases complications of lumbar puncture and increases the safety of application, and the efficiency of diagnostics.
The Lumbal puncture is an indispensable instrument for diagnostics and therapy controle of inflammatory and oncological diseases of the central nervous system. The PAJUNK® atraumatic SPROTTE® cannula sets standards for the security of the invasive intervention.
