Designed for Precision. Engineered for Outcomes.

The Gertie Marx® Pencil-Point Spinal Needle isn’t just another atraumatic needle; it’s the only one in the U.S. that was granted a patent for its unique hole placement and thin wall design.

Clinical Insight:
Did you know that studies show up to 40% of patients report Post-Dural Puncture Headache (PDPH) after using cutting-tip needles?

The Gertie Marx® Needle is specifically designed to reduce this risk. With its pencil-point tip and immediate CSF flow design, it supports better outcomes for both patients and practitioners.

Doctors who switch notice the difference. Patients feel it.
