Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (either custom or standard) needed for performing an x-ray examination by injection of a contrast material into the fluid-filled space around the spinal cord or surrounding areas (i.e., a myelography). Items in these kits usually include gauge needles, a spinal needle/stylet, syringes, lidocaine hydrochloride, Pprep swabs, gauze pads, specimen tubes, a fenestrated drape, and a puncture site bandage. The kits are frequently supplied in supporting trays (i.e., procedure trays) consisting of a flat-bottomed receptacle with a border around the periphery supporting all the instruments and supplies needed for the procedure; the trays are usually covered or wrapped. Myelography procedure kits and trays are intended for use in hospital radiology departments and/or doctors\' offices during procedures intended to diagnose disorders of the spinal canal and cord, such as nerve compression.
