Does the B. Braun Contiplex Needle Insulated Tuohy Set contain BPA, DEHP, Latex, or PVC?
The components of the B. Braun Contiplex Needle Insulated Tuohy Set do not contain BPA, DEHP or natural rubber (latex). However, the components do contain PVC.
Is the Contiplex Needle set complete?
Yes, the B. Braun Contiplex Needle Insulated Tuohy Set is a comprehensive and integrated system designed to streamline nerve block procedures and catheter placement by reducing procedural steps. It includes all essential components for immediate use:
- Contiplex Tuohy Needle: Fully coated stimulation needle for enhanced motor response.
- Polyamide Nylon Catheter: A 39 in (100 cm) closed tip catheter with blue graduations for precise depth monitoring.
- Sideport Valve Assembly: Includes extension tubing to facilitate injection and subsequent catheter positioning.
- Also included are the catheter connector and threading assist guide.
What are the key catheter features?
The catheter is made of polyamide nylon and measures 100 cm (39 inches) in length, designed to reach deeper nerve blocks effectively.Key features include:<ul><li>Design: It has a closed tip with three lateral eyes.</li><li>Visibility: The catheter is transparent and includes blue graduations for accurate depth identification.</li><li>Duration of Use: It is suitable for use over a period of up to 72 hours.</li><li>Configuration: The entire system utilizes a 20 Ga catheter.</li></ul>
How does the design of the needle enhance motor response?
The B. Braun Contiplex Needle Insulated Tuohy Set’s fully coated stimulation needle enhances motor response due to its Tuohy bevel and pint point electrode. This results in better motor response at closer nerve to needle distances.
How does the transparent catheter design improve placement?
The transparent polyamide catheter is designed with a blue graduation pattern which allows for easy and clear identification of insertion depth during procedures.
What is the duration of use for the catheter included in the set?
The catheter is designed to be used for up to 72 hours.
How does the sideport valve simplify catheter placement?
The sideport valve technique is designed to simplify both injection and catheter positioning, streamlining the nerve block procedure.
