Multicenter trial shows a low failure rate and postpuncture headache incidence in spinal procedures, highlighting the PENCAN needle's effectiveness.

The PENCAN 25-gauge needle demonstrated a failure rate of only 1.9%, making it effective for spinal anesthesia procedures.
In a multicenter trial involving 1,193 patients, the incidence of postdural puncture headache was low at 1.3%.
The needle's performance was rated as excellent or satisfactory in 96.9% of cases, indicating high reliability.
CSF was quickly identifiable in 95.9% of patients, enhancing the overall efficiency of the dural puncture process.

Krommendijk et al. (1999) studied this question.
