Frequently asked questions
Do these kits include specialized needles and catheters?
Yes, these B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) Tray Kits are specifically designed to include advanced, specialized components that enhance safety and performance during procedures.
Key specialized items included are:
- Advanced Needle System: The kits feature an Espocan Tuohy needle paired with a sleeved spinal needle (such as PENCAN Pencil-Point or SPINOCAN Quincke-Bevel). This system uses a back-eye lumen and a centering sleeve to ensure precise alignment, which minimizes needle-to-needle contact and provides enhanced tactile feedback.
- Safety-Focused Catheters: Various PERIFIX epidural catheters (like PERIFIX ONE or PERIFIX FX SoftTip) are included. The design guides the catheter through the Tuohy curve and away from the dura puncture site, significantly reducing the risk of accidental intrathecal placement.
- Loss of Resistance (LOR) Syringe: A 5 mL Glass Luer Lock or Luer Slip syringe is provided, tailored for accurate performance of the LOR technique.
Note: The specific type, gauge, and length of the needles and catheters vary based on the configuration of the purchased kit.
Does the centering sleeve ensure precise needle alignment?
Yes, the B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural Tray Kits feature an advanced centering mechanism specifically designed to optimize needle placement and safety. The unique centering sleeve provides several key benefits:
- Precise Alignment: It ensures the spinal needle is precisely aligned with the back-eye lumen of the Espocan Tuohy needle.
- Prevents Misplacement: This alignment is critical for preventing improper “over-the-curve” placement.
- Reduces Risk: By accurately guiding the system, the epidural catheter is directed away from the dura puncture site, minimizing the chance of unintended intrathecal catheter placement.
Do these kits minimize intrathecal catheter risk?
Yes, these B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) Tray Kits are specifically engineered to minimize the risk of accidental intrathecal catheter placement, thereby enhancing procedural safety and efficiency.
This critical benefit is achieved through a unique design that includes a centering sleeve and optimized catheter placement:
- Centering Sleeve: Helps align the spinal needle accurately.
- Catheter Guidance: The system guides the epidural catheter through the Tuohy curve, positioning it away from the dura puncture site to significantly lessen the chance of incorrect intrathecal placement.
Do these sterile kits offer a long shelf life?
Yes, these B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural Tray Kits are supplied as sterile units and are designed to offer a robust shelf life.
The total shelf life depends on the specific kit configuration you select, ranging from:
- 36 months
- 60 months
Are these kits latex-free?
Yes, the components in the B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural Tray Kits do not contain natural rubber latex. This makes them suitable for use with patients who have latex allergies.
Do the kits offer various spinal needle types?
Yes, the B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) Tray Kits are available in multiple configurations that offer a variety of specialized spinal needles.
The specific spinal needles included depend on the configuration, but they feature designs intended to enhance procedural control and safety:
- PENCAN Needles: These are Pencil-Point Spinal Needles.
- SPINOCAN Needles: These utilize a Quincke-Bevel design.
Both types of spinal needles are engineered to integrate perfectly with the Espocan Tuohy needle using a unique back-eye lumen and centering sleeve. This sophisticated system is designed to provide enhanced tactile feedback and ensure precise alignment, which helps prevent incorrect spinal needle placement.
What specialized catheter options are included?
The B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) Tray Kits are designed to include advanced, specialized epidural catheters, with the exact model and gauge depending on the specific kit configuration chosen.
Available catheter options include:
- PERIFIX ONE: Typically provided as a 20 Ga Closed Tip catheter.
- PERIFIX: Available in various specifications, such as 20 Ga Closed Tip or 20 Ga SoftTip Closed Tip.
- PERIFIX FX: A high-quality catheter utilizing Springwound technology, offered in configurations like 19 Ga Springwound Open Tip and 19 Ga Springwound Closed Tip.
A key benefit of these kits is the safety design: the system guides the epidural catheter away from the dura puncture site to mitigate the risk of accidental intrathecal catheter placement. Some configurations also include the ESPOCAN Docking System.
Is a high-quality 5 mL syringe included?
Yes, every B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) Tray Kit includes a 5 mL clear glass syringe. This component is specifically designed for the Loss of Resistance (LOR) technique, ensuring precise and reliable tactile feedback during the procedure.
Depending on the specific kit configuration you select, the syringe will feature a different type of Luer connection:
- 5 mL Glass Luer Lock LOR Syringe
- 5 mL Glass Luer Slip LOR Syringe
Are kits available in convenient cases?
Yes, these kits are sold by the case, with 10 units per case.
Do these kits offer enhanced tactile feel?
Yes, these B. Braun Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) Tray Kits are specifically engineered to provide enhanced tactile feedback and greater procedural control.
This superior tactile performance is achieved by avoiding direct needle-to-needle contact, thanks to several advanced design features:
- Minimized Contact: The back-eye lumen is strategically placed in the heel of the Espocan Tuohy bevel. This allows the sleeved spinal needle (Pencan or Spinocan) to pass through smoothly while minimizing direct contact between the two needles.
- Precise Alignment: A unique centering sleeve is included to accurately align the spinal needle with the back-eye lumen, which helps prevent incorrect placement (such as “over the curve” positioning) and ensures a better tactile experience.
