RX-2 vs Standard

RX-2 vs Standard

Dr. Racz compares the use of a standard introducer needle to the RX-2 Coude needle for inserting spinal cord simulators. The standard needle is similar to that of a Tuohy and has a curve in the tip. This exposed cutting edge can lead to accidental advancement of the SCS into the subdural space. This danger is averted by using the atraumatic stylet with the RX-2 Coude.
