Prospective Clinical Evaluation of BD Spinal Needles

Completed

Brief Summary: Post-market, observational study to assess the real-world safety and efficacy of BD Spinal Needles used in an on-market fashion.

Detailed Description: Single-arm, post-market, observational, prospective study of participants who will receive neuraxial procedures with a BD Spinal Needle as part of their routine medical care.

Patients will be followed from BD Spinal needle insertion up to 7 days after the insertion according to the routine medical care and site policy.

Data collected will be gathered from the patient's medical charts.
