The BD 405186 Weiss epidural needle is engineered to deliver precision and control in epidural access procedures. Its 20‑gauge calibre provides a balance of rigidity and minimal invasiveness, while the 3.50‑inch length accommodates typical adult epidural insertion depths without excess length that could complicate handling. The fixed wings (Weiss style) enhance the clinician's grip and stability during insertion, helping to reduce lateral motion and optimize control when accessing the epidural space.

Built for procedural awareness and safety, this needle features calibrated depth markings which allow the practitioner to monitor insertion depth with greater confidence. The polypropylene hub ensures a durable and sterile connection point, and the one‑piece plastic stylet significantly reduces the risk of tissue coring — which can help reduce intraprocedural complications or catheter placement issues. The specially manufactured needle heel further contributes to catheter safety by minimising shearing risk, particularly important when threading catheters after needle placement.

From a workflow and usability perspective, the thin‑wall needle design supports fluid injection and facilitates catheter threading once the epidural space is accessed. Its single‑use sterile packaging in a box of ten makes it suitable for operating theatres and labour & delivery suites alike, where multiple procedures may be performed. In short, the BD 405186 offers a thoughtfully designed combination of ergonomics, safety features and procedural visibility suited to modern epidural analgesia or anesthesia practice.
