Frequently asked questions

Is this set indicated for blocks up to 6 cm deep?

The B. Braun Contiplex C Set is specifically indicated for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Blocks (CPNB). It is designed for use when the depth of the nerve block is equal to or less than 6 cm.

What is included in the Contiplex C Set?

The B. Braun Contiplex C Set provides a comprehensive, sterile, echogenic catheter-over-needle system designed for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB). Please note that the product is sold in cases containing five individual sets.

Each complete set includes all necessary components for precise, ultrasound-guided placement and securement:

  • Catheter and Needle Assembly:
    • Catheter: 19 Ga x 18.7 cm (short-length) that is ultrasound visible. It features a design intended to seal the puncture site, minimizing fluid leakage.
    • Needle: Fine 25 Ga x 19 cm introducer needle, used to minimize patient trauma. You can select a configuration with either a 15° or 30° bevel.
  • Accessory Components:
    • Catheter connector
    • 0.2 µm procedural filter
    • PinPad securement device
    • 30 cm connection tubing
    • Nerve block identification labels
How does the Contiplex C Set simplify placement?

The B. Braun Contiplex C Set is specifically designed to significantly simplify Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) placement by combining the ease of a single-shot technique with the benefits of a flexible, indwelling catheter.

This innovative system streamlines the procedure through several key features:

  • Innovative Catheter-Over-Needle Design: This design allows for quick, precise placement. The needle is removed once the target is reached, leaving the 19 Ga x 18.7 cm catheter exactly where needed, avoiding the need for traditional threading.
  • Superior Ultrasound Visualization: Both the needle and the echogenic catheter are introduced in a straight line, which helps maintain the ultrasound beam easily throughout placement, ensuring excellent visibility.
  • Reduced Patient Trauma: Insertion uses a fine 25 Ga needle, minimizing patient trauma compared to traditional larger gauge systems.
  • Integrated Securement: The set includes a PinPad securement device for secure fixation without the risk of knotting. The catheter tip also seals the puncture site to potentially reduce leakage.

This set is indicated for nerve blocks equal to or less than 6 cm in depth.

Does the catheter-over-needle system ensure precise placement?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex C Set is an innovative, echogenic catheter-over-needle system specifically engineered to simplify and enhance the precision of Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) placement under ultrasound guidance. It combines the ease of a single-shot technique with the flexibility of a continuous catheter.

Key features that facilitate superior and precise placement include:

  • Superior Visualization: The catheter is designed to be ultrasound visible, and the straight-line introduction of the needle and catheter assists the provider in maintaining the ultrasound beam easily during placement.
  • Simplified Technique: The design eliminates the complex threading required by traditional methods. Once the 25 Ga x 19 cm needle and catheter are at the target location, removing the needle leaves the catheter perfectly positioned.
  • Reduced Trauma: The use of a fine 25 Ga needle gauge aims to minimize patient trauma during the procedure.
  • Optimal Application: This set is indicated for blocks equal to or less than 6 cm in depth, maximizing the effectiveness of the catheter-over-needle design.
Is the Contiplex C Set sterile for immediate use?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex C Set is packaged as a sterile product, ensuring it is ready for immediate clinical use. It is sold as a factory new item designed for continuous peripheral nerve block (CPNB) procedures.

Does the Contiplex C Set offer versatile needle bevel options?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex C Set provides two needle bevel options to accommodate different procedural needs:

  • 15° Bevel Needle
  • 30° Bevel Needle
Is the Contiplex C Set free from natural rubber latex?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex C Set is manufactured to be safe for those with sensitivities. None of the components in the Contiplex C Set contain natural rubber latex, ensuring a safer procedure for patients and clinicians with allergies.

Is the Contiplex C Set ideal for CPNB?

The B. Braun Contiplex C Set is specifically engineered and optimized for Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures. This innovative, echogenic catheter-over-needle system combines the utility of a flexible catheter with the ease of a single-shot placement, making it ideal for continuous pain management.

Key features that optimize this set for CPNB placement under ultrasound guidance include:

  • Superior Visualization: The catheter is fully echogenic and highly visible under ultrasound. The straight-line introduction maintains the ultrasound beam for precise steering.
  • Reduced Patient Trauma: The system utilizes a fine 25 Ga needle (19 cm length) designed to minimize insertion trauma, while the catheter remains 19 Ga (18.7 cm length).
  • Integrated Securement: The set includes a PinPad securement device for reliable fixation. The catheter tip is designed to seal the puncture site, which may help reduce post-procedural leakage.
  • Depth Indication: This system is indicated for continuous nerve blocks that are equal to or less than 6 cm in depth.
What are the precise needle and catheter specifications?

The B. Braun Contiplex C Set utilizes specific gauges and lengths optimized for precision placement and reduced patient trauma during Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures:

  • Needle Specifications:
    • Gauge: Fine 25 Ga (19 cm length). This smaller gauge is employed specifically to minimize patient discomfort and tissue trauma.
    • Bevel Options: You can select a configuration with either a 15° or 30° bevel angle.
  • Catheter Specifications:
    • Gauge: 19 Ga (18.7 cm length).
    • Design Benefit: The catheter-over-needle design ensures that the 19 Ga catheter is left pre-placed. This gauge size is designed to seal the puncture site immediately upon needle removal, significantly helping to reduce potential fluid leakage.

The entire system is also fully echogenic, ensuring excellent visibility and precise targeting under ultrasound guidance.

Does the Contiplex C Set simplify CPNB?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex C Set significantly simplifies Continuous Peripheral Nerve Block (CPNB) procedures by utilizing an innovative echogenic catheter-over-needle system. This advanced design merges the straightforward placement of a single-shot technique with the long-term benefits of an indwelling catheter.

Key features that streamline the procedure and improve patient comfort include:

  • One-Step Placement: The catheter is pre-placed over the needle, allowing for precise placement without the separate, sometimes challenging, step of catheter threading.
  • Enhanced Guidance: The straight trajectory of the needle and catheter aids in maintaining the ultrasound beam, as the system is fully ultrasound visible.
  • Minimized Trauma: Insertion is performed using a fine 25 Gauge (Ga) needle, which is designed to be less traumatic for the patient.
  • Secure Catheter: The set includes a PinPad securement device for reliable fixation. Additionally, the 19 Ga catheter seals the puncture site upon needle removal, which may help reduce leakage.

This set is indicated for peripheral nerve blocks with an indication depth of 6 cm or less.
