Prepackaged collections of the devices and supplies (i.e., either custom or standard kits) needed for providing a local anesthetic solution into the caudal portion of the epidural space, usually through the sacral hiatus. Items in these kits usually include syringes, needles (e.g., scalp vein-needle), sterile gauze, and povidone. 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. Caudal anesthesia procedure kits and trays are intended for use in the block of sacral and lower lumbar nerve roots during diagnostic and/or therapeutic procedures.
