Iowa Anesthesia Needle

Clinical Application

Designed for percutaneous administration of local and regional anesthetic agents, this needle is used for peripheral nerve blocks, field infiltration, and other procedures where controlled tissue penetration and reliable anesthetic delivery are required. The needle accommodates aspiration and injection techniques used to confirm placement and administer medication during regional anesthesia.

Design & Configuration

The slender, hollow shaft and beveled tip enable atraumatic entry and precise placement in soft tissues. A well‑defined bevel reduces tissue coring and permits predictable penetration force, while the lumen supports smooth aspiration and controlled injectate flow. The syringe‑compatible hub provides a secure connection to standard syringes to maintain syringe control during injection and aspiration maneuvers.
