## Indications for use
BD Epilorm syringes are intended for use with either air or liquid in conjunction with an epidural needle for identifying the epidural space. These types of syringes facilitate the "loss of resistance" technique for identifying the epidural space by reducing subjectivity when locating this space and the potential for complications when administering epidural anesthesia to patients. Not for spinal applications. These devices are intended for adult and pediatric patients.
