Frequently asked questions

What high-quality needle is included?

The set includes the specialized Contiplex Tuohy ultra 360 needle, which is optimized for superior visualization during ultrasound-guided procedures. This needle is engineered to facilitate precise Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) catheter placement.Key features that enhance the needle’s visibility include:* Innovative Design: The needle incorporates an innovative X-pattern and a clear coating, which significantly improves ultrasound visibility and assists in precise tip identification from all angles.* Echogenicity: It is an insulated, echogenic Tuohy needle designed for real-time guidance.The needle length is available in configurations of 2 inches or 4 inches, depending on the specific set variant chosen.

Does the B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set contain natural rubber?

No, the components of the B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set do not contain natural rubber, reducing the risk of allergic reactions.

Does this set ensure superior ultrasound visibility?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set is specifically engineered for ultrasound-guided Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) catheter placement, incorporating several features to maximize visibility and procedural control. Key benefits include:

  • Enhanced Echogenicity: Flat-coil technology is used along the entire catheter length, significantly improving visualization under ultrasound.
  • Superior Visualization Aids: The accompanying Tuohy needle features an innovative X-pattern and clear coating for improved tip identification. The catheter also includes 360° markings to ensure visibility from multiple angles.
  • Procedural Efficiency: The kit includes a sideport valve that allows for injection, hydrodissection, or aspiration without requiring disconnection before threading the catheter. Users also have the option to pre-load the catheter to streamline the procedure.
How do the components enhance catheter placement?

The B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set is engineered with several specialized components to significantly enhance both visualization and procedural efficiency during ultrasound-guided Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) catheter placement.

Key enhancements include:

  • Superior Ultrasound Visibility: The Contiplex Echo catheter uses flat-coil technology along its entire 55 cm length for maximum echogenicity. The accompanying Tuohy ultra 360 needle features an innovative X-pattern design and clear coating, ensuring improved needle tip identification.
  • Procedural Efficiency: An integrated sideport valve allows the clinician to perform injection, hydrodissection, or aspiration without needing to disconnect the system before threading the catheter.
  • Enhanced Control: The styleted catheter design provides superior control during the threading process, and the system allows for the option to pre-load the catheter to streamline workflow.

This sterile set is provided as a complete kit, with 10 units per case.

What catheter tip options are available?

The B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set is available with two catheter tip configurations, allowing flexibility for ultrasound-guided Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) procedures:

  • Open tip
  • Closed tip
What is the set's total shelf life?

The B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set has an excellent total shelf life of 36 months from the date of manufacture. This extended period ensures the components remain sterile and fully effective, supporting reliable inventory management.

How does the sideport valve improve efficiency?

The sideport valve is a key feature engineered to streamline the workflow during ultrasound-guided PNB catheter placement.

It significantly improves efficiency by allowing the clinician to perform critical tasks without disconnecting the catheter components before threading. Specifically, the valve enables seamless:

  • Injection
  • Hydrodissection
  • Aspiration

This functionality speeds up the procedure and reduces steps. Additionally, the design supports the option to pre-load the catheter, which further optimizes procedural preparation.

What configurations are available?

The B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set configurations are determined by two key features: the catheter tip style and the needle length. All sets include the highly echogenic 20 Ga x 55 cm Contiplex Echo catheter.

Available configurations include:

  1. Catheter Tip Options: You can choose between an Open-tip or a Closed-tip echogenic catheter.
  2. Needle Length: The Contiplex Tuohy ultra 360 needle is offered in two insulated lengths:
    • 2 inches
    • 4 inches
What are the catheter's gauge and length specifications?

The B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set includes a high-quality catheter specifically dimensioned for ultrasound-guided Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) placement. Its key specifications are:

  • Gauge: 20 Ga
  • Length: 55 cm

The 55 cm length is noted to reduce excess slack, which assists in securing the catheter and streamlining the procedure. For enhanced control during placement, a stylet is included with the catheter.

Does the Contiplex Echo Set offer superior visibility?

Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Echo Set is specifically engineered to provide superior visualization during ultrasound-guided Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) procedures. This enhanced visibility is achieved through several innovative features:

  • Full-Length Catheter Echogenicity: The 20 Ga, 55 cm catheter utilizes proprietary flat-coil technology which runs along the entire length, ensuring maximum visibility under ultrasound guidance.
  • Optimized Needle Visibility: The Contiplex Tuohy ultra 360 needle features an innovative X-pattern and clear coating. This design significantly improves ultrasound visualization and precise tip identification.
  • Omnidirectional Tracking: The catheter incorporates 360° markings along its surface, guaranteeing that it remains visible from all directions regardless of the ultrasound transducer’s orientation.
