Jess B. Weiss (1917June 28, 2007) was an American anesthesiologist and medical doctor.
Weiss was best known for redesigning the shape of the epidural needle by adding a T-shaped set of wings. This allowed anesthesiologists and physicians to more easily guide the needle into the spine of the patient.
