Abstract
An adapter element joins and stabilizes cooperating needle sets, such as epidural and spinal needles. The adapter element is particularly useful in combined spinal epidural anesthesia delivery techniques in which the adapter element is mated to the proximal portion of an epidural needle and a spinal needle can be inserted through and supported by an internal channel formed within the adapter element.
