EpiZact is intended for use with an epidural needing a loss of resistance, which ads a clinician in verifying needle tip placement in the epidural space.

EpiZact is a self-pressurizing piston syringe that uses the same loss of resistance technique used by physicians to detect the epidural space. The device is single use, sterile, hanually powered, and designed to connect to standard epidural Tuohy needles (16-18 gauge) with a standard Luer connector. EpiZact provides tactile feedback, in addition to visual feedback, when a loss of resistance is detected. The tactile feedback is also designed to help reduce the forward motion of the needle upon detection of loss of resistance. The device is comprised of copolyester plastic, stainless steel springs, silicone Orings, silicone and ABS valve, and polydimethylsiloxane (silicone) lubricant.
