Journal of the American Medical Association, 1914 The purpose of a needle for the puncture of the spinal canal is threefold: (1) to measure the pressure of the spinal fluid; (2) to withdraw fluid through it for examination, and (3) to inject substances into the spinal canal. The needles devised for this purpose, heretofore, have depended on the use of the three-way cock. Such mechanism is very apt to
