The Episure syringe: a novel loss of resistance syringe for locating the epidural space.
The Episure syringe is a unique spring-loaded loss-of-resistance (LOR) syringe with a coaxial compression spring within a Portex Pulsator LOR syringe. This syringe supplies a constant pressure while the operator is advancing the Tuohy needle. ⋯ The spring-loaded syringe is a potentially useful LOR syringe that provides a reliable, objective end-point for identification of the epidural space.
