Frequently asked questions
Is this set optimized for ultrasound guidance?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex FX Non-Stimulating Tuohy Set is specifically optimized for Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) procedures using ultrasound guidance.
This system is designed to streamline the process by eliminating the requirement for electrical nerve stimulation. Key features ensure superior visualization and efficient placement:
- Ultrasound-Only Needle: The non-stimulating Tuohy needle is designed exclusively for use under ultrasound.
- Enhanced Echogenicity: The Contiplex FX spring-wound catheter includes a spring coil structure that provides superior visibility, improving tracking accuracy under ultrasound.
- Precise Handling: The catheter combines a soft tip for patient comfort with a rigid body for easier handling and accurate tip placement.
- Depth Confirmation: The Tuohy needle features clear graduations to help clinicians accurately gauge insertion depth.
Does the catheter offer improved ultrasound visibility?
Yes, the Contiplex FX springwound catheter is specifically designed for enhanced visualization during ultrasound-guided procedures. The echogenicity provided by the internal spring coil significantly improves visibility, which aids in precise handling and accurate tip placement.
Does the set include a sideport valve for easier injection?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex FX Non-Stimulating Tuohy Set is a complete system that includes a sideport valve assembly with extension tubing.
This sideport valve technique is designed to simplify Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) procedures by facilitating:
- Easier Injection: Allows for simplified administration of anesthetic agents.
- Precise Positioning: Assists in adjusting the position of the catheter during placement under ultrasound guidance.
How many units are included in a case?
Each case contains 12 individual B. Braun Contiplex FX Non-Stimulating Tuohy Sets. This ensures an adequate supply for multiple procedures.
Is the Tuohy set free of natural rubber latex?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex FX Non-Stimulating Tuohy Set is free of natural rubber latex.
- The components used in the set do not contain natural rubber.
- This design helps minimize the risk of allergic reactions for patients and staff with latex sensitivities.
Does the needle feature depth-indicating graduations?
Yes, the non-stimulating Tuohy needle features clear graduations along its shaft. These markings are essential for accurately indicating the needle depth during placement, which enhances precision and control in ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks (PNB).
What catheter tip options are available?
The Contiplex FX Non-Stimulating Tuohy Set is available with two catheter tip configurations, both measuring 17 Ga x 3.5 in:
- Open Tip Catheter
- Closed Tip Catheter
Both options utilize the specialized Contiplex FX springwound catheter, which incorporates an echogenic spring coil for significantly improved visualization when using ultrasound guidance.
What is the total shelf life?
The B. Braun Contiplex FX Non-Stimulating Tuohy Set has a total shelf life of 36 months. This ensures the product maintains its integrity and sterility.
What specialized components are included in this set?
The B. Braun Contiplex FX Non-Stimulating Tuohy Set is a complete, sterile system optimized for ultrasound-guided Peripheral Nerve Block (PNB) procedures. The specialized components included are:
- Non-Stimulating Tuohy Needle: Designed exclusively for ultrasound-only applications, eliminating the need for electrical nerve stimulation. It features depth graduations for accurate insertion.
- Contiplex FX Springwound Catheter: Includes built-in echogenicity via a spring coil to significantly improve visibility under ultrasound guidance. Its construction combines a rigid body for control with a soft tip for optimal handling and precise placement.
- Sideport Valve Assembly with Extension Tubing: Facilitates the simplified sideport valve technique for easy fluid injection and precise catheter positioning.
- Catheter connector
- Threading assist guide
Does the Contiplex FX catheter have enhanced visibility?
Yes, the Contiplex FX catheter is specifically engineered for superior visualization, making it an ideal choice for ultrasound-only Peripheral Nerve Blocks (PNB) procedures. This enhanced visibility is achieved through several key design features:
- Built-in Echogenicity: The Contiplex FX springwound catheter incorporates an internal spring coil that significantly improves its echogenicity, ensuring it is highly visible under ultrasound guidance.
- Optimized Handling: The catheter features a soft tip for gentle placement combined with a rigid body to facilitate easier handling and precise tip positioning.
- Procedural Efficiency: This reliable visibility helps reduce procedural steps during catheter placement, streamlining the PNB process.
