comparison of spinal needle deflection in a ballistic gel model
نویسندگان
چکیده
conclusions there is clinical utility in knowing the relative deflection of various needle tips. when a procedure requires a needle to be steered around obstacles, or along non-collinear targets, the predictable and large amount of deflection obtained through use of a beveled spinal needle may prove beneficial. materials and methods six needles commonly used in spinal procedures (quincke, short bevel, chiba, tuohy, hustead, whitacre) were selected for use in this study. ballistic gel samples were made in molds of two depths, 40mm and 80 mm. each needle was mounted in a drill press to ensure an accurate needle trajectory. distance of deflection was recorded for each needle. results in comparing the mean deflection of 22 gauge needles of all types at 80 mm of depth, deflection was greatest among beveled needles [short bevel (9.96 ± 0.77 mm), quincke (8.89 ± 0.17 mm), chiba (7.71 ± 1.16 mm)], moderate among epidural needles [tuohy (7.64 ± 0.16 mm) and least among the pencil-point needles [whitacre (0.73 ± 0.34 mm)]. increased gauge (25 g) led to a significant increase in deflection among beveled needles. the direction of deflection was away from the bevel with quincke, chiba and short beveled needles and toward the bevel of the tuohy and hustead needles. deflection of the whitacre pencil-point needle was minimal. background percutaneous diagnostic and therapeutic procedures are commonly used in the treatment of spinal pain. the success of these procedures depends on the accuracy of needle placement, which is influenced by needle size and shape. objectives the purpose of this study is to examine and quantify the deviation of commonly used spinal needles based on needle tip design and gauge, using a ballistic gel tissue simulant.

A virtual sensor is developed for the online estimation of needle tip deflection during permanent interstitial brachytherapy needle insertion. Permanent interstitial brachytherapy is an effective, minimally invasive, and patient friendly cancer treatment procedure. The deflection of the needles used in the procedure, however, undermines the treatment efficiency and, therefore, needs to be minim...
