Frequently asked questions
Do the kits offer multiple quality needle options?
Yes, the B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits are designed for procedural flexibility, allowing you to select kits with different high-quality needle options based on your clinical needs.
Key features regarding the needles include:
- Needle Styles: You can choose between Tuohy or Hustead epidural needles.
- Needle Gauges: Configurations are available with either 17 Gauge (Ga) or 18 Gauge (Ga) needles.
This variety ensures the kit components are appropriate for the required continuous epidural procedure.
Are the epidural kit components latex-free?
Yes, for maximum patient safety, all components within the B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits do not contain natural rubber latex.
What PERIFIX catheter tip options are included?
The B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits include various PERIFIX catheters to meet specific procedural requirements. The two primary catheter tip options available across the different configurations are:
- Closed Tip Catheter
- Open Tip Catheter
These catheters are typically provided in either a 19 Ga or 20 Ga size, depending on the specific configuration you select.
Are these continuous epidural kits free of DEHP or PVC?
| The material composition regarding DEHP (Di-Ethylhexyl Phthalate) and PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) varies significantly depending on the specific configuration chosen. While many variants explicitly state they are manufactured without these materials, others do contain one or both substances. We advise checking the specific configuration details to meet your facility’s requirements.Regarding other important material disclosures: | Component | Status | Detail | :— | :— | :— | BPA (Bisphenol A) | Present | All documented variants contain BPA. | Natural Rubber Latex | Absent | All components are confirmed to be latex-free. |
Are specialized Luer Lock syringes included?
Yes, the B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits include specialized syringes essential for supporting the Loss of Resistance (LOR) technique in epidural procedures. The exact type and volume depend on the specific configuration selected, but they are designed for clinical precision and reliability.
Available syringe options generally include:
- Volumes: 5 mL or 10 mL.
- Material & Connection: Glass syringes featuring either a Luer Lock connection (for secure, positive attachment) or a Luer Slip connection (for quick, efficient assembly).
This variety allows clinicians to select the optimal syringe for their procedural needs and preferred connection mechanism.
Are the B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits sterile?
Yes, the B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits are sterile.
Are the epidural kits highly configurable?
Yes, the B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits are designed for maximum procedural flexibility, allowing clinicians to customize contents or convert a standard tray for special procedures.
This high degree of configurability is broken down into three main kit classes and 24 specific component configurations:
1. Three Kit Classes
The kits are grouped to match procedural and budgetary needs:
- Basic: Contains essential components only, excluding injectable drugs or saline solution.
- Intermediate: Includes necessary ampules for the skin wheal drug and saline solution.
- Full: The most comprehensive option, often including advanced components like filtration, drugs, and expanded drape options.
2. Specialized Component Configurations
There are 24 distinct configurations available, ensuring the precise tools are selected for continuous epidural anesthesia, including:
- Needles: Options include 17 Ga or 18 Ga Tuohy or Hustead needles.
- Catheters: PERIFIX 19 Ga or 20 Ga catheters, available in Closed Tip or Open Tip variations.
- Ancillary Items: Varied syringe volumes (5 mL or 10 mL) with Luer Lock or Luer Slip connections.
All kits are supplied sterile and come with a 36-month shelf life.
What is the total shelf life for the kits?
The B. Braun Continuous Epidural Tray Kits are designed for long-term storage and inventory management. They have a total shelf life of 36 months. This standardized shelf life applies across all variants and ensures the sterility and viability of the components until use.
Does the epidural kit contain BPA?
The presence of Bisphenol A (BPA), along with DEHP and PVC, varies depending on the specific configuration of the continuous epidural kit.
B. Braun provides detailed information about the material composition of each kit for safety assessment. Here is a summary of the material status:
- Latex: All configurations are Latex-free (do not contain natural rubber).
- BPA, DEHP, and PVC: The presence of these materials varies; some variants contain them, while others are specifically free of them.
To ensure material safety compliance, you must consult the detailed specifications for the exact alphanumeric code of the kit configuration you plan to order.
Do the kits include all essential components?
Yes, these comprehensive kits include essential components such as epidural needles, PERIFIX catheters, syringes (various types like Glass Luer Lock and Plastic Luer Slip), and accessories necessary for Loss of Resistance (LOR) technique. Specific configurations may also include skin prep solutions and drug/saline ampules.
