💡 DID YOU KNOW?
When you’re preparing to have a baby, you may have more choices than you realize.
If spinal anesthesia is part of your birth plan, you can talk with your anesthesia provider about the spinal needle they use — including asking whether a Gertie Marx® Spinal Needle is an option.
The Gertie Marx® needle was designed with obstetric anesthesia in mind. Specifically reducing the risk of post-dural puncture leaks which can lead to worse complications.
Being informed gives you the opportunity to ask questions and be part of the conversation about your care.
Ask your anesthesia provider about the Gertie Marx® Spinal Needle.
